The Cross

Two arms open wide
Two sinners on each side
Two eyes tearing
One heart grieving
One grandiose plan
One innocent man
Nailed was He
To a tree
He suffered and bled
So we would no longer be dead
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords were just two of the names given to Him by many who believed that He was!
For the true Son of God, the Christ came to deliver us all and He showed us the love that He did and still does!
He died for us for God did allow
Oh how grateful we all are now
All this Love He now leaves us
For this blessed hope in Jesus
To abide in His ways for sure
To believe in faith that's pure
To sacrifice His Life for all
Was the greatest gift of all
On this very truth and fact
Only with faith can you act
Faith in Him as Holy Lord
With the Bible as your sword
His death on the cross is a key
For every man's life in eternity
He gave so much and healed all
His work on the cross was a call
A call to each and everyone here
To see the love he had so dear
Love one another as also He,
Loved all of us, you and me!
Which way should we all go
He set an example to show
We need to yell and shout
So now we must go out
To tell the whole earth
Of our Savior's worth
And the joy of Him
Does not grow dim
Only one chance
So take a stance
Come to know
His Sorrow
Don't cease
Seek peace
God Bless
Pray yes!
I do warn
Be born
Again
Amen

 ;)

He bore for one and all alike. He shed His blood and fought the fight. He died upon this rugged cross, so that you would not be lost. He was cursed and hated too, His body broke just for you. No one took this great man's life, He gave it up, a sacrifice. On this cross made of tree, He was hung to pay a fee. But this fee He did not own, we are why He had to go. So that all of us could live, it was He who had to give. Like a thief He would die, but He barely gave a sigh. Words lowly came, His voice grew, "Forgive them for they know not what they do." Then He died, the sacrifice made, our sins and sicknesses washed away. In three days, He rose again, and was seated at the Father's right hand. Now, just ask, salvation is free, He'll live in your heart for eternity. Jesus is no ordinary man, He is God, under His grace we stand. This cross is not just wood. Here He did what no other could. He died for one and all alike, He shed His blood and fought the fight. He died upon this rugged cross so that YOU would not be lost. Just Ask.

                                                                Nichol, bp. bp. Toronto: Coach House Press, 1967.



The cross-shaped poem is probably the most popular kind of pattern-poem ever written, including such versions as the Greek technopaegnia, the Christian carmina figurata, and the shaped poetry of the Renaissance. Nichol's poem acknowledges this tradition by its title, but uses the contrast between roman type and italics to express other than devotional concerns. Although Nichol uses only one word, "theory," the italicized letters spell out three additional words - "the," "or," and "y." If read sequentially, these words ask a stimulating question: "the" (a definite article used as a nominal) is the church laws; "or" is or; and "y" is "why?" In other words, the question is: should church laws be accepted on faith? Further, the word "theory" is the brick from which the cross is built, and represents semantically the foundation of the church. One additional reading employs the Spanish meaning of "y" (and); the phrase now reads "the or and," the definite against the compound, unity contrasted with diversity.
