The Glory of My Sovereign

Come and see the glory of my Sovereign
Come to see the King express His love for His bride
See how majestic yet humbly He hangs there
A life to pay for a life, a ransom of great price
His love demanded He do something
All He could do was everything
His life He considered as nothing
The payment of a great bride price
He took her debt and guilt
And blood that must be spilt
In return He asks for nothing
Save what His blood purchased
A life to pay for a life, a bride of great worth
Will you come; will you come in haste
The glory of your Sovereign as He proves His love for you

It even looks like a king chess piece! Good message, good picture!

I foresee at least one, maybe two sequels to this. It all depends on how busy I allow myself to be. It would take some doing to get the first response to look like a queen chess piece so I won’t even try, although the shape of the stanzas was purely providential. Thanks for pointing that out, Aaron (ie mangsta gangsta2)

[…] A touching poem-I cried when I read this poem written by my brother. I love the metaphor of Christ as pursuing bridegroom, us His errant bride. […]
