Learned Lesson Number Eleven: Easter is Not About Chocolate


Atonement

I hurt, I fall, land on my knees,

He knows my pain, He feels, He sees.

Each slight, dismissal, injury

Was carried in Gethsemane.

He bled, atoned, for all of those

Who tried and scourged Him, brought Him low.

The bitter gall, the crown of thorns,

Through the streets, the cross was borne.

When, in despair, I plead with Him

To take from me the weight of sin,

The ache of loss, the grief undone,

He took it all, the battle’s won.

I smile through tears, healed by degrees.

Get on my feet, from off my knees

And do the work He gave to me,

That I may go, renewed, to be

With Him for all Eternity.
