The Only Way  

His back screamed in pain,
From the terrible scourging;
His head throbbed from the thorns,
Nothing was encouraging.

But then He saw the women,
Their faces drenched in tears;
He knew He would save them,
And wipe away their fears.

They nailed Him to an ugly cross,
Facing an excruciating death;
He suffered with each movement,
He struggled for each breath.

He cried, "It is finished!"
As He gave up His life;
The earth protested with quakes,
It brought the end of His strife.

But the story has a happy end,
For Jesus was raised from the dead;
To this day He still lives,
Just as He had said.

Jesus saved us from our sin,
Eternal life was bought for us;
Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior,
And heaven will make quite a fuss.

Time may be running out,
So make that decision today;
If you want to enter heaven's gates,
Jesus is the only way.
