What Is This You Have You Done? Poem by Royston Allen

What Is This You Have You Done?



What have I done? …….

The gate to Eden barred.
Man by sin was marred.
Death entered into life.
Now man must live by strife.


What has He done? …….

He died upon a tree.
Set the prisoners free.
Life entered into death.
Now man is no longer bereft.

John 19: 29-30
A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
