I Was There the Day Jesus Died

I was there the day Jesus was crucified upon the cross I saw his blood fall covering the ground all around his feet I heard him cry out in agony and pain as nails were hammered through his hands and feet upon his head he wore a crown of thorns causing his blood to fall down upon his face alongside of Jesus were two unlucky men who were chosen to die with him that awful day I saw his mother Mary standing there crying and wailing wondering why her beloved son had to die I was there in the crowd the day Jesus passed by carrying that heavy wooden cross barring him down as the Roman solders beat him with their leather whips all the people turned against him why I’ll never know just a few days ago all the people seemed to love him so I stood there in fear that I might be arrested if I showed my love and support for him I saw him look upon the crowd gathered there that fateful day his eyes were piercing through all of us as I heard him say God forgive them for they no not what they do when the moment Jesus died and a Roman solders spear pierced his side the bright blue sky turned to gray and black and day turned into night an ominous hurricane cold wind blew across the barren land the earth opened up and shook beneath our feet we all fell down to the ground at this sight as though the earth was angry on the day that Jesus died I could see and feel the fear in the Roman solders eyes that was a big surprise and all the people standing there I was there on the day that Jesus died so many years ago and I cried out it wasn’t fair to crucify a man who only wanted to teach to being about peace and harmony so many more people he wanted to reach to learn to love one another as we would our own brother then it happened a few days past the miracle of all miracles took place and it forever shook the human race the huge stone covering the entrance to his tomb was broken and thrown aside like a small stone and two angelic angles were standing there I saw all that with my own eyes Jesus had risen from his tomb of death his tomb was empty only a white burial cloth remained he walked upon the earth again for 40 days until he ascended to heaven above Jesus died for all our sins to bare Jesus changed the world forever and made it a better place Jesus did not die for naught on that terrible day he lives again in all of us humanity believes that Jesus Christ is the chosen son of God written by Dennis Davis five days before Easter in April 2017
