It Was Meant To Be Poem by Sally Campbell

It wasn’t meant to be that Jesus be set free
He knew He must die to save us from sin,
It wasn’t meant to be
God knew the world must see
What was meant to be

If only He had spoken
He would not have died
For He had done nothing wrong,
“Crucify Jesus, ” to the king the people cried,
Then maybe He will leave us alone

They were afraid to listen,
For what He said was new
Love everyone, said He,
Just as I have loved you
I am the Son of God
Why can’t you believe
This was meant to be?

What Jesus began that day
Did not end on the cross,
It was only the beginning
For the one who is lost,
To Thy hands, my Father,
I commit my soul to Thee,
For it is finished;
What was meant to be.
