Holy Week Prayer

Holy week is here. In keeping with the tradition of my blog, 

here is a poem and prayer from my dad.  

Have a beautiful and blessed Easter.
~Lori

Dear Jesus,

That day is fast approaching

There is no place to hide.

That day filled with your suffering

My tears well up inside.

It happened on a Friday

How can we call it good?

When you obeyed our Father’s way

Upon the cross of unyielding wood.

Now your cross is my cross

I feel your awful agony.

The thorns, the nails, the total loss

Upon that bitter tree.

But Jesus I must now recall

That you really died for me.

You  gave your very life your all

To bring our Easter victory.
