Raymond A. Foss Poems

Coming to this earth
walking as a man
going to the cross
humbly, a servant
judged for my sin
dying in my place

What Christ did for me
his sacrifice, this high priest,
becoming the offering
into the fires of hell
to redeem me from death

Going into the pit,
blackness of the grave
rising to conquer
vanquish my stain,
death itself no more
my fate, to rise with him instead
at the end of my days
walking this lowly earth
