POEM - Coffee With Jesus

I dreamt that I was in Heaven
Sharing a cup of coffee with Jesus
Deep within my heart
A questioned burned so strong
I just had to ask the Lord
"Why?"

"Why did You go through it all?
Was it necessary to die?
What did You gain from the whipping,
The beating and in the end crucifixion?
Why Lord?"

Taking a sip of His coffee
Jesus smiled and answered
"Because I love you"

But I wasn't satisfied,
I need to know why!
So I asked, "why me?"

He replied,
"That's simple,
I can't help but love you
I knew you from before you were born
I formed you in your mother's womb
I alone know the number of hairs
upon your head"

"I coudn't bear to have you
Deep in sin, far away from my love
That's why I had to die,
So I could save you from your sin.
As I hung on that cross
It was your face that was on my mind
There was no other way around it
I died so I could have you with me
Forever."

I looked up from my mug
My tears creating ripples in the coffee
"Lord, I can never understand why,
You did it all
But it is enough to know
that You love me,
Thank You Jesus, for Your Love."
