..........Wurmbrand’s poem for Jesus pp.67,68
“Doesn’t matter whether ‘tis right to love Thee,
Lord Jesus, I don’t love to obtain salvation, I
shall love You in everlasting pain, consuming
fire, burning cold
Had you refused to descend unto us, You would
have been my special dream, if Your Word never
reached me, I would have given You love
without it
If You fled from the cross, I would love You, if I
found sin in You, my love would cover it, if the
prophets predicted another Lord, I would
leave them
To cling unto You, even if they produced a thousand
proofs against Your existence, I shall always love
You, If you are a myth, I shall leave reality and live
in a dream of You
If they brought final proof that you don’t exist, my love
would resurrect You – my love is senseless, eternal,
untouchable, as is the love You have for me.”
On completing the poem, Wurmbrand was free from
oppression, he felt the kiss of Jesus, quiet and joy
returned to his cell
I shall leave materialism and live in the myth of spiritual
love, scorning a thousand proofs against the
supernatural, based on my admiration for
Wurmbrand’s explanation of unconditional love,
living a quantum vision….
