Excerpt from the "Choices" Poem

My atonement I gave to one and to all
     For you could not protect yourself from the fall

And your sins, you weren’t able to clear from the slate
     Unless on my path you entered through my gate

I committed no sins, but bore the burden of them all
     And such suffering did cause great drops of blood to fall.

The thorns in my head, my pierced feet and hands,
     This suffering I did for the good of man

That they might be able, by following the way
     to make course corrections whenever they stray

To return to our Father, for that is his plan
     To bring to pass the immortality and Eternal Life of man.

The sword pierced my side after all this was done
     These things I did for you, because I am God’s Son

You’ve taken a hold of my atonement for you
     You’ve been selfless in service, and to your heritage been true

Well done my good servant, you’ve shown us your best
     Now lay down your load and enter into my rest,

You strove to do right, and repented of sin
     Your mansion is prepared, now come..., enter in.
