| From the cross He finished the work His Father sent him to do He took on his body The sin of the world And made the covenant Of his blood the means Of salvation for all Selah By merely accepting as gift What Jesus was sent to accomplish One reaps all the blessings of God And everlasting life Let me show you His gift: "Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." His mercy: “Father forgive them For they know not what they do” His love: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” At that moment he identified with our sin His loss: “I thirst” As the Holy Spirit departed His life: “It is finished” There was nothing left to give And so He gave up His spirit For you and for me Selah His life was a continual sacrifice The giving up of his holy self to God To demonstrate the fruit of obedience And a sinless life It was a suffering, And a passion, And an agony For you And for me And for all the world As God he left The glory of heaven As man He humbled himself To the point of death Death on a cross Selah Behold the Lamb Behold the king Behold the love Behold my Jesus, My Savior, My God Invite him in He is waiting With outstretched arms To embrace you There is no better time than now To invite him in Amen |
