IF ….. <br /> <br />If maidens never saw angels <br />Who uttered love, wreaked vengeance <br />If the manger was void of straw <br />To nest a babe born to correct our flaws <br />If three rumouring sages, Far East <br />Never disclosed the evil in Herods’ breast <br />If not the persecution and sacrifice <br />The seed of Adam would not have paid the price <br /> <br /> <br />If not for thirty pieces of Silver <br />The treachery of Iscariot, denial of Peter <br />The Crown of Thorn, sponge of Vinegar <br />Hospitality of Joseph Arimethea <br />If not the Cross, evil would’ve engulfed us <br />If not the Tomb, death would’ve won us <br />If not the triumphant Ascent…. <br />The perpetual reminder of the Season of Lent <br />……..If not for Christ.<br /><br />RazonAnny Justin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-not-for-christ-2/
