The Truth

February 26, 2010
By Anonymous

A cross on a hill
Covered in stains
Of sins that have gone
And come back again
I can’t bear to look at that place
I can’t stand to stare the truth in the face-
That
You died so that I may live
You gave I have nothing to give
You paid the ultimate sacrifice
So that I may have eternal life
