Dear Beautiful Savior,
Sometimes poets capture the essence of things in words only our hearts can experience. On this Easter Sunday read this poem and listen with the ear of your heart to Faith Dias Neto’s:
Unworthy, yet worth it
He looked at the cross
And He looked at me
'It's worth it', He says
Unworthy, undeserving -
'You're worth it' He says.
Every lash, every whip
The pain -
'You're worth it'
Every wound, every bruise
The shame -
'You're worth it'
They spat at Him
Mocked Him
Left Him best for dead
Yet still He said -
'You are worth it'
'Lord, let this cup pass'
But still, went on
For His love drew Him on.
I look at my life
And I look at Him
'You're worth it' I say
Every tear, every struggle
My little cross that I bear
'You're worth it'
And so, I'll press on
Through the trials and the lows
Because one day I'll meet my King
And
It'll all be worth it.
My eyes fixed on the cross
Mind stayed on above
It's worth it, dear Child of God.
I picked up my cross
I followed Christ
For He is worthy
And all because
He thought me worth it.
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8
He is Risen! He has Risen indeed!
