“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NIV)

Grace Said No
The crown of thorns
Forced on His head,
Bruises, slashes,
Wounds that bled.
Voices heard
Above the crowd,
Jeers and Jokes
Mocking loud.
Rhythm made by
Each hammer blow.
Perfect heart
Beating slow.
Darkness swallowed
Up the sky
As they waited
For Him to die.
“It is finished”
Said for me
While the devil
Danced with glee.
“I’ve won!” He bragged
“I told you so….”
But on Easter morn
Grace.
Said.
No.

I’m joining up again with #livefreeThursday at http://www.tsuzanneeller.com The prompts was “no”. Sometimes a poem just comes out of me even when it is not what I plan to write. Want to see what other women are writing on “no”? Click on over to Suzie’s site.
