Easter Sonnet

A sonnet based off Easter reflections.

Christ came to earth a child born low and meek
A child born deep within a cattle stall
A child named what an angel's voice did speak
Months ere he came to earth to die for all.

He came to earth a man his own knew not
A prophet from the town which no man praised
A prophet speaking news with glory fraught
But only few believed his sacred name.

He came to earth a Lamb to die for men
A priest who spilled his blood upon the tree
A priest they laid beneath the ground; and then
He rose and conquered death in victory.

Christ died for us and reigns as holy King;
Throughout eternity his praise we'll sing!

    1. Thank you! Hm, I don't know... maybe twenty minutes or so? :) I had to keep adjusting the words to correctly fit the meter...
