Love Offering, From He Who Owed Us Nothing

 

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
