Dear Jesus Christ – A poem by Maureen Brown

DEAR JESUS CHRIST YOU SAVED US ON THE CROSS
WHEN FRIENDS AND FAMILY MOURNED THEIR LOSS
INSTEAD OF DYING YOU SET YOUR PEOPLE FREE
THEY HEARD YOUR CRIES YET YOU ROSE AGAIN ON DAY THREE

YOU TOOK EVERYONES SUFFERING THAT DAY
THEIR PAIN YOU BORE AND DRIED THEIR TEARS AWAY
NAILS WERE CRUELLY DRIVEN INTO YOUR HANDS
AS YOU SUFFERED THE SINS OF EVERY LAND

WE PRAY DEAR JESUS YOU WILL COME AGAIN
SO THAT PEACE AND PROSPERITY WILL REIGN
THE WORLD IS QUIETLY CRYING OUT FOR YOU
AS WE SURELY RECOGNISE AND ACCEPT THE BLAME
