What Would I Do Without Calvary

Priests, preachers, and Evangelists, I've listened to them all; But what would I do without Calvary, Had I not heard the sweet Savior's call? For Man cannot do as his own will directs, And still gain the sweet Bye And Bye; Nor preachers forgive them the sins of a life, That was wasted though try as they might. For only The Son can finish the job, That The Father, Himself has begun. The Spirit must lead us, must guide and must teach us, Only on God to rely.

Talking about Calvary, it reminds me of a passion film TV always plays on Good Friday or Easter Saturday, before Easter Sunday. I sit with a box of tissues, and watch it every year, i can't imagine the pain of a crucifixion and the beating and spitting Christ went through and made to carry his cross wearing a crown of thorns, the blood pouring down his face - 3 wondrous people helped him when he stumbled. The emotional pain his Mother, the Virgin Mary went through, her heart shattered. Blessings my friend.

When we rely on God, all other trivial matters melt away in the face of Faith, we need to stay vigilant and persevere, no matter how crazy the outdoor world gets, love and hugs, (fragile) package :) coming to you Judy

Beautiful Judy! I don't want to even imagine...I praise God for His precious gift of salvation through His sacrifice for us at Calvary. These were heart stirring words my precious friend <3

In the desert, a cross healed the Jews from the snakes bite. On Calvary, those who wish will have the snakes' bite cured. Great poem,
