Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots." Luke 23:34

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.

"You are never greater in the sight of God, then when you forgive." Dr. Michael Youseff

So will you?

  1. Hebrews Chapter 10 will send me to bed, again, tonight. Great words in your blog. I was thinking about the song "The blood that gives me strength from day to day it will never lose it's power, for it reaches to the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest valley..." I think, Andre Crouch.
