With all of what is going on around the world I would like to share a poem I wrote some time ago, hoping that it might reach out to anyone who reads this who does not know the Lord .
Love lies bleeding on a hill alone and far away
for the blood of Christ shed on that cross
is still poured out today
To God there is no passing time - only a way to be
this the reason Jesus came to save both you and me
and if you say 'We're not in chains, why need we be set free
just look around this present world and tell me what you see
Do you see greed enticing man to murder, rob and cheat
while anger, lust and envy are roaming every street?
And when a soul lies crying, alone and in despair
do you turn away while saying 'Doesn't anybody care'?
Strong chains of sin and selfishness
are now binding all mankind
and only God's great sacrifice can bring you peace of mind
Yes, love lies bleeding on a hill, yet not so far away
For the love of Jesus........ flowing still
....... is just a prayer away

What an amazing poem! It's GREAT!
Just a prayer away. He is as close as the mention of His name.
Hi Irina, thank you for your kind comment. God bless.
That's right Sandi. Once we are born again of God's Holy Spirit we are able to call upon the name of our Lord Jesus.
The perfect poem for Eastertide and beyond, Brenda. You've said it all here.
God bless!
Hi Martha Jane. Thank you for your very kind comment. Yes, Easter is all about blessings given to us by our beautiful Saviour's crucification. He was and is the only One born on this earth with no earthly father, and without sin. God bless.
God's blessings to you!
May God bless you and yours Lon with all He has for us in Jesus.
Thank you Lon for your very kind comment. Blessings to you and your wife too.
Hi Brenda,
So beautiful and amazing that the Savior, Creator of all things, loves us so much that He lay bleeding for us. May His love touch us to be more like Him. May God bless you and your beautiful poetry and ministry.

Hi Laurie,
thank you for your kind comment. Yes, may His love touch us to be more like Him. Our life on earth is a learning process, and it is the most important thing that we become like Jesus our beautiful Saviour as we travel on towards the promised land. God bless you Laurie.
Wonderful poetry. Thank you, Brenda.
God bless.
Thank you for your kind comment Victor. There are more people who have viewed it than have commented, I hope they have been those who do not know the Lord yet. God loves all and wants all to be saved through Jesus. God bless you Victor.
Hope you are having a good day, Brenda. It is a bit rainy and cold here, unusual for us this time of year. 🌹
Hi Sandi, yes have had a good day. The gardener has been around to cut the grass, and will be coming to do a full weeding on Monday. The weather is nice here, Spring sunshine and quite warm. I am hoping to put another post up soon, always a time for everything. God bless.
Hi Lon, thank you for your kind comment. As I always say, ' It is our beautiful Saviour Who is the One Who inspired me to write all the poems I put on my blog.' God bless you with all our Lord gives you to share.
Hi Brenda,
Praise God that He gave us His Holy Spirit to be our teacher and guide, shaping us progressively into His image. May we follow His leading.
God bless you,
Laurie
Hi Laurie,
yes, without the teaching of the Holy Spirit we would not have access to the mind of Christ, and know God's thoughts and ways. God bless you.
Hi Brenda,
Amen! The Comforter shows us the mind of Christ and points the way to Him.
God bless you too!
Laurie
Hi Brenda,
May God continue to bless you in your lovely ministry.
Laurie
Hi Laurie, you too. I haven't had time to put a post up for a while, but there is one that comes into my mind to repost, so I will probably put it up soon. God bless you.
There is so much happening in our world, Brenda. I pray for peace every day. Thank you for another beautiful poem!
