Welcome to Pause for Poetry featuring a poem written by my writer-friend, Frances Gregory Pasch.

Because He Lives

O Dear Heavenly Father,

We come boldly to Your throne,

Through the blood of Jesus

By nothing of our own.

For Jesus opened heaven’s door

When He died on the cross,

And three days later rose again

So none need to be lost.

How blessed we are…He bridged the gap

Left open by man’s sin.

How blessed we are…because of Him

That we can enter in.
