The Cross Still Stands

Yesterday, our minister gave a potent and personal sermon on how his family is going through some major health issues.  His biggest question was "How do I minister to my own family?"  It's easy to minister to outsiders, but when it is up close and personal, how do you help those closest to you, when you too are hurting and do not have all the answers.  But he said over and over, (paraphrasing) 'No matter what happens, the cross still stands.  I am going to follow His will and let him use me to figure this all out.'

I was inspired.  I kept hearing, The cross still stands in my head and knew that a song or poem had to come out.

The Cross Still Stands

She walked the last lonely mile

Behind the one deemed to die.

Her mind could not wrap around

The circumstances of the night.

She remembered hearing about the night he was born

The angels, the shepherds, the wiseman adorned.

And now he hung there for the world to mock

As friends and family stood in shock.

As he cried out forgiveness,

Death became evident and darkness reigned

She thought that all was gone

But at the empty tomb her hope sang

The cross still stands

For all that are lost

For all the world's sins are covered

Forever and eternity

The cross still stands

For your obedience

For light broke through the darkness

Forever and eternity.

God's will became the foundation

For Christians, on their knees will stand

And Jesus took our sin 

Because 

The cross still stands

For all that were lost

For all the world's sins are covered

Forever eternity

The cross still stands

For your obedience

For light broke through the darkness

Forever and eternity.

This is still in the changing stage.  I hope it comes across as I want it to.  Do you like it?  Do you think it's just okay?  Is it bad?  Let me know.
