Christian Poetry
This Christian Easter poem focusses on the fact that God works in mysterious ways, and has a different perspective to the way the world sees things; hence Jesus’s death on a cross being the ultimate victory!
There lived, long ago, in a faraway place
An upside-down man full of heavenly grace.
His upside-down teachings and upside-down ways
Will always, forever, confound and amaze.
He spoke of forgiveness, compassion and love.
He said He was sent by His Father above.
He saw the invisible, nurtured the weak;
He humbled Himself and exalted the meek.
He cared for the lonely, the sad and the lost
He stood alongside them, whatever the cost.
So full of surprises, this upside-down man
Astounded the world with his upside-down plan.
His death on a cross was the start, not the end!
Such upside-down ways: how can we comprehend?
Impossible, surely, that when Sunday came
The Risen Lord Jesus appeared once again!
His grace and forgiveness, His personal loss,
Had fought for the world through His death on a cross.
And God, in His wisdom, saw victory won
By sending a sacrifice of His own son!
And so, let us join with our Heavenly praise
Of Jesus’s wonderful upside-down ways!
Isaiah 55 verses 8 and 9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
