Marking Another - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Marking another
different from us
as if that made them unworthy
unable to approach the cross

All of us human
with feet made of clay
all needing Jesus
at the end of our days

We all are fallen
abiding in sin
needing our Savior
in the end to begin

Only new life through his grace
his sacrifice on the cross
we should love one another
because of that cost
