Tis quite a thing to contemplate
The measure of love's price
It's law no one can mediate
To keep, or sacrifice
Where what we sacrifice for Who
Tells who our allegiance is to
What joy when what is sacrificed
Turns loss to gain, when done for Christ
***
He forgives our sins and remembers them no more!
What more do we need?
and remembers your sins no more.
You discern thought’s intents
You look into the heart
Still, morning spills the evidence
Of mercies You impart
You lavish us with love
You keep us in Your care
Your Word, a wondrous treasure trove
Of wealth beyond compare
You hear us when we pray
Your light dispels dark doubt
Your grace sufficient, come what may
Your ways past finding out
You discern thought’s intents
You look into the heart
Still, morning spills the evidence
Of mercies You impart
Your well never runs dry
Where Living Waters roll
Your Bread of Life will satisfy
The hunger of the soul
Your Son died in our stead
One sacrifice for all
To free us from the curse that led
To hell after The Fall
Where blood of bull and ram
Could never pay sin’s price
Jesus, the only spotless Lamb
Fit for the sacrifice
What a gift we receive
You gave the best you had
So, all who repent and believe
May call you Abba-Dad
What more then, do we need
Where greed for gain runs wild
Your goodness is enough to feed
All who become Your child
You lavish us with love
You keep us in Your care
Our hope in You, more than enough
For every cross we bear
Where, when death runs us through
Death is not the last word
But simply the Grand Entrance to
Forever with You, Lord
What more then, can we say
You make our joy complete
As we press on toward That Day
When earth and Heaven meet
Then, how awed we will be
All that we sacrificed
A pittance, as eternity
Consummates, All for Christ
