This poem focuses on the Easter Story and covers the crucifixion and the resurrection.  Of course the story is not complete without the Lord coming again and the last stanza features that.  Each stanza deals with a different feature of the Saviour’s life that passion weekend.

                    COMING FOR HIS CROWN
When the Archbishop of Canterbury crowned Queen Elizabeth II, he laid the crown on her head with this pronouncement, “I give thee, O sovereign lady, this crown to wear until he who reserves the right to wear it shall return.”

                    One Sunday, a monk was invited to speak about the ‘love of God.’ He waited until it is dark and proceeded in the altar with a lighted candle. He first illumined the crown of thorns then the two hands that are nailed after that he continued to light the spear wound in the side and lastly he put the

                    Then there are the thorns which Jesus says are the wealth and cares of the world. Providing for your family, working, spending, the economy, getting more stuff, getting the stuff paid for and so on are all part of the tension of living in this world while being a proper steward of our blessings.

                    A certain medieval monk announced he would be preaching next Sunday evening on "The Love of God." As the shadows fell and the light ceased to come in through the cathedral windows, the congregation gathered. In the darkness of the altar, the monk lighted a candle and carried it to the crucifix.

This weighty burden thou dost bear, 
This heavy cross,
It is a gift the Lord bestows,
And not a loss;
It is a trust that He commits 
Unto thy care,
A precious lesson He has deigned 
With thee to share.
Rejoice that He so honors thee
And so esteems
Of highest worth;
