Writing Stuff

This seems to be a busy week as it goes by and really nothing has been accomplished this week as far as I am concerned. I spent one evening visitng out at Luckenbach and that was a really laid back time. Somefolks know that I like to write poems every once in a while...i try but I am not near as good as Walt Perryman from Luckenbach or Pete Davis from Junction but I try. thought i might just share one with you to see what you think about them...well here goes.

THE COST
BY JOE BROWN

GOD’S LOVE IS AN AWESOME THING,
KIND OF MAKES US ALL WANT TO SING,
YET IN THE BACK OF OUR MIND,
THERE ‘S A GNAWING QUESTION, AN ANSWER TO FIND
JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ALL OF US,
HE REALLY DIDN’T MAKE A GREAT BIG FUSS,
THE SINLESS ONE CAME FROM GLORY AND GRACE,
TOOK ON ALL OUR SIN DIED IN OUR PLACE,
HIS FATHER ABOVE HAD TO TURN HIS FACE AWAY,
SO THAT CHRIST COULD GO TO HELL FOR US THAT DAY,
HE WENT THERE THE FINAL SACRIFICE TO MAKE,
SO THAT THE DEVIL OUR SOUL WON’T TAKE,
WELL CHRIST BEAT THE DEVIL AT HIS OWN GAME,
SAVED OUR BUTTS FROM THE FLAME
HE TOOK AWAY THE STING OF DEATH THAT DAY,
KICKED WIDE THE GATES AND LED THE SAINTS OUT HORAY!
NO MORE SACRIFICES NOW NEED TO BE MADE,
BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THE PRICE HE PAID,
HE GAVE HIS ALL THAT IS SO EASY TO SEE,
AND YET WE DARE ASK WHAT DID HE DO FOR ME,
WELL FOR SIN DEATH IS PRICE PAID FOR THE LOST,
YES HE PAID FOR US THE ULTIMATE COST!
AMEN

Blessings, Joe
