Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The shroud of darkness
over the earth
the sun would not shine
Christ hanging on the cross
dying alone and in pain

The lamb upon the altar
his life poured out
his spirit slipping away
before he cried out
his dying words to God

Forsaken by the Lord
his face turned from Christ
alone upon the cross
the Messiah breathed his last

The curtain ripped
the holy of holies exposed
the dead rose in that moment
Christ died on the cross
the cost of all of our sin
paid in full for all
by his grace alone
forgiven
