I know I've posted these songs before, but with Easter coming
the messages in the lyrics ring nearer and dearer than ever
as I reflect on God's glorious gift of grace
for all mankind forever, to sorry sinners that stand condemned
but for the redemption that poured from Calvary's cross
once for all in forgiveness of sins to all who believe!
(all that wonder in one run-on sentence!!:-)
Is there any message
dearer
than the one from
Calvary?
Jesus took the place of
sinners;
gave His life for you
and me
With the pardon His blood
purchased,
we who stand condemned
may call
On He who loves and
forgives us
and gave His life once,
for all...
Granting for our guilt
salvation;
absolution from sin's
curse
With His death he
overpowered
Death's dominion
over us
Sealed the gates of hell with
Heaven
Tore the veil twixt God
and man
Took our justified
chastisement
to fulfill salvation's
plan
He who owed us nothing
offered
To suffer in our
place
Love looked far beyond the
moment
And sealed Destiny with
grace
Free, but for one
stipulation
Only those who ask
receive
Only those receive
salvation
who first repent and
believe
Janet Martin
Sometimes one simply has to marvel again and again
at how the love of God grants to sinful, sordid, shameful, selfish
human race-
Grace
