"LEONA'S POEMS"

	" At the Foot of the  Cross "

I wonder what Jesus was thinking
When He gazed at the foot of the cross
Watching His mother as she stood weeping
And viewing those who were lost

The soldiers as they gambled
For the clothes He wore
His disciples why were they troubled
Did they think they would see Him no more ?

John His beloved brother
Peter who denied Him thrice
As they gazed at one another 
Considering oh what a price

Precious blood the ground did cover
Beneath the cross a crimson red
Yes soon it would all be over
And their shepherd would be dead

Jesus watching as He hung there
Looking down on those He loved
He saw their eyes filled with fear
With compassion He was moved

Father please forgive them
I'm willing to pay this cost 
To free them from their sin 
These ones at the foot of the cross

I awoke from whence I was dreaming
Weeping as I tasted my tears
For it was me that He was redeeming
And I had wasted so many years

Twas at the foot of the cross
As I gazed into His loving face
Twas the day He freed me from sin
Oh yes I was saved by His grace

Now I can face all my tomorrows
Though I may be tempest tossed
He'll be with me through all my sorrows
I've found peace at the foot of the cross

" Go Tell Them "

From the depths of hell come the voices
Screaming out in agony
We are here by our own choices
In torment for all eternity

We watched you oh christian
We gazed at your lifestyle
Not once did you ere mention
And you knew it all the while

Some of us here were your neighbors
Some were your family and friends
You never once mentioned your Saviour
Now we're in torment of which there is no end

Oh why, oh why did you not tell us ?
You left us to die in our sin
Never no mention of Jesus
You cared not for the souls of men

Like the rich man now and Lazarus
Knowing now what money can't buy
And the beggar close to Christ's bosom pressed
And the rich man in hell now cries

Oh please let someone tell them
I do not wish them to enter here
Please don't let them die in their sin
For this torment is more than I can bear

" Sports "

Watching baseball games and football
Cheering for the team you wish to win
How exciting , oh how wonderful
For our team has won again

Maybe you prefer boxing,golfing or bowling
Or an all around sportsmen you may be
All these things are to you exciting
And your heart is filled with glee

Have you ever gotten so excited
Over a soul that's been set free 
That you'd shout a hardy " Hallelujah"
Praise God I've won this one to Thee ?

Christian we are on a winning team
We're playing in an all star game
So let's start praising,cheering, hooraying
We have the best of coaches,Jesus Christ is His name!
