“At the crossroads I stand: which way should I turn? I know not whence I shall find life. Around me is danger, great, life-threat’ning danger; Oh, where shall I turn from sin’s strife?”
“Friend, look up before you! Up there on the hill stands the cross of Golgotha—there! ‘Tis where Jesus hung bleeding, for man-kind e’er pleading— there our pain and our sins gladly bear.”
Run, sinner, run! Jesus longs now to save you! Come now to the cross where He died! Look up to your Saviour, for He reigns now in Heaven— He’ll forgive if to Him you will fly.
“If any would lay their sins and their burdens upon Me: Lo, I will give rest: Forsake now your toil that leads to destruction and come lay thine head on My breast.”

About this poem:
This is a poem of the turmoil that every human being faces. Many subconsciously face these feelings, and drown their guilt and pain through intoxication and other addictive measures. The second part of the poem shows Jesus' compassion to all and that He cares about us in what we go through. He is ready and willing to receive us and save us if we will lay our sins at His feet in repentance.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful faith in this corner - there seems to be only a very few of us who share here and it is refreshing to have a fellow believer aboard.
