Poetry of the Cross: In the Cross of Christ I Glory
by Rosemary ~ March 17th, 2008IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST I GLORY
In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow’ring o’er the the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers ‘round its head sublime.
When the woes of life o’ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming,
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds new luster to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

Dear Rosemary,
I haven’t the faintest doubt that it was the Lord who brought me to your blog this morning. Just reading your brief bio I’m enchanted with your heart for our King, and your beautiful writings resonate within my soul. Thank you for creating this safe haven, and I pray that you will feel the warmth of the Holy Spirit very near you today.
His,
Jo
