His Cross Overpowering

I'm glad that in my weakness, Christ's glory is revealed. I wrote this poem during the lowest part of my life.

He was stricken and made low,
Hung on the cross like a foe.

True Son of Man but despised
His teachings, unrecognized.

But no greater love than His
Nor kindness stronger than His.

His mercy beyond compare,
His own life He didn't spare.

The ever humble Divine,
"Not my will Father but thine."

Yes, by His wounds we are healed
and by His death we are filled

With God's grace overflowing,
His Cross overpowering.

My favorite verse:"But His answer was:"My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak." "I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me." - 2Corinthians 12:9

As i underwent through the pain, i was holding the Cross of the rosary beads given to me by my dear brother, Rev. Fr. Joemarie which i wore as i lay in bed. Right there and then, i was able to make this poem as inspired by my Mighty Savior, Jesus Christ.

"The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything into His hands. Whoever believes in the Son lives with eternal life, but he who will not believe in the Son will never know life and always faces the justice of God." - John 3:35-36
