I know we’re putting poems and songs out here at the speed of sound! I think that’s great. I must tell you that it was actually a couple MONTHS ago that I received this poem from Linda Bonney Olin. I went digging around my computer to find it and I am so pleased to bring Linda’s poem to you today!
Is There Room at the Cross? ©2010 Linda Bonney Olin (Used by permission)
1. Is there room for two more knees at the foot of the cross? Can another sinner squeeze his way inside the crowd of penitents who seek pardon for their sins from Jesus Christ, the Savior crucified?
Say you’ll save me a place to meet Jesus face to face and worship at the foot of the cross!
2. Like the parting of the seas for the Hebrews to cross, can you move aside there, please, and let me by, to join the multitude who kneel down in gratitude to Jesus Christ, the Savior crucified?
Say you’ll save me a place to meet Jesus face to face and worship at the foot of the cross!
3. For each soul who now believes, many more still are lost. Thank the Lord, whose love I seized before I died! Now I’ll shout with the throng loud hosannas all day long, for Jesus Christ, the Savior crucified!
Say you’ll save me a place to meet Jesus face to face and worship at the foot of the cross!
Linda, I’ll worship with you! I’ll save you a place. Let’s let Rev. Clay Evans invite us in song to the cross. There’s Room at the Cross for You!
As you may have figured out from the numbered verses and the odd rhyme/meter, these actually are song lyrics. “Is There Room at the Cross?” is one of 24 hymns and songs I wrote and collected under the title Songs for the Lord. With prompting (and a LOT of help) from the Holy Spirit, I published Songs for the Lord as a Kindle book on Amazon last month. Here’s a link for interested readers to check it out:

I’ve subscribed to Hope’s blog since Day One, after meeting her at Montrose Christian Writers Conference. I’ve enjoyed reading all the posts from Hope and her guests. Blessings to all!

For those of you just joining, Linda is referring to a poem/song she submitted a few days later. Thanks for showing us that, Linda!

Oops! Sorry, I didn’t realize my comment would be identified as “cownundrum” instead of my name! Yes, that was me!
