Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

In his reading of the scroll
the words of Isaiah fulfilled
claimed by the Christ
out of his tempting
His ministry about to begin

Hope for the captives,
relief for the oppressed
setting the prisoners free
all of humanity
saved through his life
his offering of himself for us

Lifting us up
out of our brokenness
giving us through his gift
his sacrifice on the cross
no longer death at the end
a way back to the father instead
