Love Stronger Than Death

(Teacher's Poem)

The heavenly Paradise, land of peace
Throwing away the crown and the throne
You came to this earth swarming with evil enemies
Who await only to take Your life
Knowing quite well that You would die in their hands
Without the slightest hesitation of fear
You came to die, unperturbed and so composed
Your love just for me

Loving Heavenly Father

(Teacher's Poem)

Ignorant children,

The more they turn away from Daddy,

The more obstinate they are before Daddy,

The further they flee from Him,

The more they slander and curse Him,

The more Daddy's love for them burns on.

His children who choose the road

     of their own accord...

Lest He should be forced to let go of them,

Lest He should lose them,

Fluttered, He scurries after them,

Imploring,

Pleading,

Daddy's love that appeals to them.

The Good Shepherd

(Teacher's Poem)

The Shepherd fights sleep,

To guard His flock

The Shepherd fights cold,

To guard His flock

The Shepherd fights winds (typhoons, violent gales),

To guard His flock

The Shepherd fights animals (wolves, bears, lions),

To guard His flock

The Shepherd fights bandits,

To guard His flock

The Shepherd fights all enemies between heaven and earth,

To guard His flock

Only For You

[I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am lovesick! Songs 5:8]

How could I leave You

Who loved me so fervently

Oh, You loved me to the point of sickness

And gave Your life for me

But I left You

I did not even consider You

I rather left You searching for another

And sought love from another

Yet You did not hate me

You only wished for my unceasing happiness

Beloved Lord

Now I have matured but late

I have grown to learn Your love

I have come to understand my misconduct

With immense remorse I have come back to You

So please forgive me now

And please love me

Side By Side the Lord's Tomb

(Teacher's Poem)

My Lord lies in a tomb

He lies alone in a sinner's tomb

No one comes to visit Him

In this cold, lonely tomb where He lies first 

And He tells me not to come in

People look up to Jesus on the cross

And though they praise Him in His throne

There is no one to visit Him lying alone in the tomb

To Have Your Love

(Teacher's Poem)

From that heavenly Paradise, the land of spring

You came to this dreadfully cold world of winter

Attacked by all sorts of cold winds and snowstorms

On the hill of Golgotha

For me alone You breathed  Your last, O Holy One

How can I before Your great love like the sun

Simply sit and stare blankly

I pray that You will give me Your love

Love Stronger Than Death

The heavenly Paradise, land of peace

Throwing away the crown and the throne

You came to this earth swarming with evil enemies

Who await only to take Your life

Knowing quite well that you would die int their hands

Without the slightest hesitation or fear

You came to die, unpreturbed and so compose

Your love which is stronger than death

Your love just for me

Mu Lord

Give to me also to me this love

So that I too can go to the world

Swarming with enemies

In search of Your children, to save them

To sacrifice myself as completely as You have
