Because He Walked as a Man - 2 by Raymond A. Foss
Christ understanding us
able to see through our eyes
offering his voice
before almighty God
Our intermediary
though holy, of clay
able to speak from our place
because he walked as a man

September 3, 2010
as I read the title of the following poem
before posting it to Christianpoetry this morning,
I thought of the fact that Christ did all that he did
with his eyes seeing, knowing his fate,
before he came to earth
-------------------------
With his eyes seeing

awakening his slumber
the pain of his suffering
seeing the world, with eyes open to God
his sacrifice, his love shining
in the vision before him
able to see the world
as if for the first time
seeing sin from the
perspective of a father
grasping his mercy,
his love for us all
Choosing, as Christ did
the way of the cross
wanting no child
to bear such a terrible cost
