Poetry
He Was Guilty
Found guilty of nothing
yet convicted all the same
Unto this end, he was born
because of me .... he came
He stood there innocent
uttering no words of defense
When, even to his judge
the charges made no sense
Oh, but he was guilty
guilty of loving me
Guilty of mercy so great
he willingly went to Calvary
Guilty of compassion
far exceeding that, of his accusers
Guilty of forgiving
even his blinded, abusers
Guilty for desiring,
to free man’s sinful soul
Oh yes he was guilty ... guilty
of loving us so
Guilty of breaking
the traditions of man
Guilty of disclosing
the only salvation plan
Guilty of loving
beyond man’s imagination
Guilty of preparing hearts
to accept, an eternal salvation
