Golgotha's Heights(True Love Story) Poem by Uche Nwanze

Golgotha's Heights(True Love Story)

Rating: 5.0


The story of a Son, Came He from the Heavens, a carpenters son we knew him.
Mother wasn't a Dame, a simple maiden betrothed to the town's Carpenter. A virgin who was with child, not of mortals but of the celestial.
Mankind a Lame duck, clutching to a straw.
Choose He to gift humanity immortality.
His traducers in vain they tried to Tame Him, His mouth He opened not to their taunts and haunts.
Upon the cross, condemned He to die. Like a common criminal, He knew this was no Game, His choice never to turn back.
The tortuous road from Gethsemane, ignominy and agony He went to Golgotha's heights.
The Cross of Shame, His sacrifice turned it to a Cross of Fame.
A sacrifice, price of His obedience.
His Name now invoked for all ages, the key to the gates of eternity. All shall bend the knee at His Name. The gates of hades tremble in fear, the Cross of Shame no longer the Same yesterday. The cross of Shame now a cross of Fame.

The Cross of Shame, His sacrifice turned it to a Cross of Fame. A sacrifice, price of His obedience. His Name now invoked for all ages, tThe gates of hades tremble in fear, the Cross of Shame no longer the Same yesterday. The cross of Shame now a cross of Fame. Loving Jesus and praising Jesus Christ for his heroic death is our call in this life. and that is the truth that Jesus Christ is God Himself who became man to die on the cross. wonderful. thank you for your great faith. tony
