Full Atonement

 

Full atonement, can it be?

Every sin-stain washed away

Words seem trite; how can I say

'Thank-you for Your love for me'?

Full atonement, not in part

Ah redemption, Mercy's gift

Satisfies that hopeless rift

 Twixt His Heaven and my heart

Full atonement,diadem

Pressed in thorns upon His head

Holiest of Holy pled

'Oh my Father, forgive them'

Full atonement; God so loves

Everyone. Will we believe

And His wondrous gift recieve

That only the cross would prove?

Full atonement; dare we face

When this little life is done

Judgement day, Father and Son 

Having rejected His grace? 

Full atonement, thank-you Lord

For the sacrifice you made

As sin's awful debt was paid

Through Your blood on Calv'ry poured

 Janet Martin

For God so loved the world

that He gave His only begotten Son

that whosoever believeth in Him

should not perish but have

everlasting life

For God sent not His Son into the world

to condemn the world;

but that the world through Him

might be saved

John 3: 16-17
