"Count the Cost" ( a poem by Cate Hatfield)


Count the Cost

“It broke my heart to see HIS stripes; it broke my will to know

 HE did...ALL that he did in 6 hours time,

HE did for the world and this spirit of mine.

Despised and broken HIS life HE gave...in 6 hours time,

My soul HE saved.

 When I count the cost...for this world of lost,

The price HE paid for the debt we made...

I think how great is this prize

How we must look through HIS eyes.

I count the time that HE spent there

On that cross, our shame to bear.

A single act so Great that it split time,

 It split the veil and this heart of mine.

So when you start to count the cost

 Be sure to add what HE found lost.

It only took 6 hours time to save a world and this life of mine."
