The Cross In The Human Heart Poem by Denis Martindale

The Cross In The Human Heart



Four chambers dwell within the heart,
To me, a cross they form,
As one, they nourish every part,
Thanks to my blood kept warm...
And every single second here
Upon my Mother Earth,
My faithful heart helps God stay near
And seek to show His worth...

Though miracles aren't clearly seen
Throughout each passing day,
By faith in Christ the Nazarene,
I'm guided on the Way...
Since Christ has filled me to the brim,
His mercy proves enough,
My heart has grown because of Him,
No other love above...

I'm not a rich man blessed with wealth,
No mansion do I own,
I'm not a well man blessed with health,
So I'm inclined to moan...
But overall, my life reviewed,
My life seemed not that bad,
With every blessing I accrued,
I'm glad for all I had...

Lord Jesus lived a human life,
A body just like mine,
Enough to bear His cross of strife,
Yet rise again divine...
What faith that takes, to suffer so,
Upon that final hill,
To intercede for every foe
And still obey God's will...

To think, that Jesus suffered all,
In utmost agony,
Reminds me of Apostle Paul,
Who wrote of Calvary...
One man was raised in sacrifice,
One man was made to die,
One man alone to pay the price,
To rescue you and I...

And so, my heart that gently beats,
Reminds me, now and then,
There's not one demon who defeats
The Saviour's love for men...
In fact, the Lord loves every child,
No matter, young or old
And seeks to see them reconciled
With God, as good as gold...

The Gospel's preached to girls and boys
And to their parents, too,
Yet every heart must make the choice,
Ask, 'What would Jesus do? '
Each member of the Human Race,
Should trust the Lord Jesus,
For He believed the Father's grace,
Enough to die for us...
