Poem by Eugene L. Clark - "How Can it Be"

With tear-filled eyes I stand and gaze
    In almost disbelief
That God’s own Son would come to earth
    To bear such pain and grief.

To think that He who made the worlds
    And clung them into space
Would come to earth in human flesh
    And die in such disgrace.

All this I cannot comprehend;
    It is a mystery
Not knowing why, by faith I cry,
    “Thank God, it was for me.”

How can it be? How can it be
    That on a cross at Calvary
The son of God would come and die
    To save a sinner such as I?
