about: JESUS OF NAZARETH

TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION Caryl Ramsdale, American Poetess

And when they were come unto a place called Gol’-go-tha, that is to say, a place of a skull,   MATTHEW 27:33 KJV

GOLGOTHA to Glen Buchanan 12/16/1920-05/01/2000

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, For they know not what they do." Then God dropped a veil of darkness, God darkened the bright sun too. Our savior cried in a loud voice, "It is done" and bowed His head; God divided the earth with a quake; The scripture's fulfilled they said. Jesus lay in a rich man's tomb, A great stone covered the door; Someone put a seal 'round that door, And God shook the earth once more. An angel of the Lord came down, And rolled the great stone away; "Jesus' gone. He's risen," he said, "Come!  See the place where He lay."

This is the place called Golgotha, Where our Lord was crucified; This is the place called Golgotha, This is where our savior died. This hill is named Place of the Skull; The story's told far and wide, There's Jesus hanging in the midst; With a thief on either side. Guards sat at the foot of this cross, Casting lots for our master's gown; They scorned this carpenter's son, Made fun of His thorny crown. Pilate had written a title, "JESUS KING OF THE JEWS" it read; Holy men mocked God's Holy Son, Those passing by wagged their heads.

Last they saw Him in Galilee, He'd paid the price for our sin; "I am with you always," He said, Then ascended toward heaven. © Copyright 1999-2010 Caryl Ramsdale  All Rights Reserved.
