Spirit Chronicles: Echoes of Mercy

Echoes of Mercy

I have been slowly adding to this poem I wrote back in the early 1990’s in a small diary I wrote. I have been praying about it alot and wanted to add some more lines. I have moved some things around, added some lines and wanted to acknowledge that Jesus died for my sins and everyone. He is the light of the world and is welcoming to all that seek his grace, guidance and mercy.

Many years ago I dreamed that Jesus was on the cross on a big hill and he was screaming out across the valley asking  for help.  His voice was weakened from the blood he had lost while hanging and suffering on the cross.  It was a very vivid dream where Jesus was dying on the cross and was in so much pain, pain that we as humans could not fathom.  When I woke up, tears were flowing from my eyes and my heart was beating a mile a minute.  I was immediately struck with the vision of him yelling across the hills from that cross. He had to die for us and what a price he paid. He did out of the ultimate sacrifice and love and people still reject him.

During the dream I couldn’t actually see Jesus, but I knew it was him on the cross.  The valley below has people scattered about and some were cheering while others were crying and begging the soldiers for his life.   I can never forget the sound of the Echoe going out across for miles and miles.  I struggled with this dream for a long time and tried to figure it out.  It was the third in a series of dreams about Jesus.  All of them were about him suffering for sinners like me.  I wrote the dream down in my journal and a few days later, after having this dream I wrote a poem called Echoes of Mercy.  I pray that you find Jesus and ask him into your heart.

The bible tells us that there are two destinations for our souls when we leave this weary body. Heaven or hell are those two options. You can deny it all you want and if you are willing to take that chance then so be it. But it you have any doubt, just ask and you shall receive. His grace, mercy and compassion is greater than all things of this earth. His offer is the biggest decision you will ever make in life. Be of pray and see how its works out. Jesus saves and Devil takes.

Echoes of Mercy, he was sent to this earth

Echoes of Mercy, to give his light its birth

Echoes of Mercy, convicted by man

Echoes of Mercy, took a beating by hand

Echoes of Mercy, he carried the cross

Echoes of Mercy, he paid for the loss

Echoes of Mercy, he hung on the cross

Echoes of Mercy, he paid for the lost

Echoes of Mercy, so loud and clear

Echoes of Mercy, Jesus suffered without fear

Echoes of Mercy, he was mocked and scorned

Echoes of Mercy, he didn’t deserve that crown of thorns

Echoes of Mercy, went all through the hills

Echoes of Mercy, as Jesus blood violently spills

Echoes of Mercy, he died for my sins

Echoes of Mercy, he would do it again

Echoes of Mercy, he went to the grave

Echoes of Mercy, he rose for all to save

Echoes of Mercy, he conquered all sin

Echoes of Mercy, champion Jesus for the win
