It Was News to Me
Jul 26, 2013 2021
Lowell Tarling, writer and friend of Good News Unlimited, has given us permission to share this beautiful poem today. It was written after listening to one of Des’ sermons on the cross. You can check out Lowell’s website at http://www.lowelltarling.com.au/
The words below are the lyrics of one of the tracks in Bob Wolfgramm’s CD “Refugee” which is being re-released on 1 August by Psalter. http://www.psaltermusic.com/
It Was News To Me
(Lowell Tarling)
It was news to me
It had been done
Before my birth
It had been won
It could not be earned
Before I was born
And on Jesus’ shoulders
He carried my scorn
He carried my cross in silence
I should have walked that trail
My Hands and feet have wandered
His hands and feet were nailed
My head has been turned
His crowned with thorns
And he died for my failures
Before I was born
It was news to me
Born at a cost
We were all found
When Christ was lost
And sometimes I hear
‘God is dead’
But the death of my God
Makes me bow my head
(Romans 5: 6-10)
