Best Love of All....

Our love would be nothing...without its Author!

We would have nothing to celebrate

Hope could not exist

without the Father and the Son

who loved first

Let’s contemplate The Greatest love of all

For our transgression,

He took the fall

For our debt of guilt

He took our stead

Beaten and pierced,

His body bled

For our boastful pride and shame

He bowed His head

Jesus is His name

Let’s think upon the perfect Son of God

Sinless, yet He became

sin for our sin

Immortal exchanged

Heaven’s throne for sod

Put on a humble servant’s shroud of skin

For our gain He suffered

Utter loss

Obedient even to death;

To death upon a cross

Let’s think upon the Love that sets us free

Forbid we turn our backs

On Calvary

where on that tree

He suffered every gore

…even Abba forsook

The form that bore

All sin of man on Jesus’ sinless limb;

‘Til all earth shook

With the agony of him

Let’s contemplate The Greatest love of all

For our transgression,

He took the fall

For our debt of guilt

He took our stead

Beaten and pierced,

His body bled

For our Victory

God gave His Son

And sealed hope's destiny
with 'it is done'!
