HE TOOK MY PLACE, by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Upon a life I have not lived Last Line: As one who has thy gift received. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Upon a life I have not lived, Upon a death I did not die, Another's life; Another's death: I stake my whole eternity. Not on the tears which I have shed; Not on the sorrows I have known; Another's tears; Another's griefs; On them I rest, on them alone. Jesus, O Son of God, I build On what Thy cross has done for me; There both my death and life I read; My guilt, my pardon there I see. Lord, I believe; O deal with me As one who has Thy Word believed! I take the gift, Lord, look on me As one who has Thy gift received. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
