Title: He Died Instead Post by: chicklittle on April 12, 2005, 07:52:48 PM I lift my voice and seek your face, standing in this holy place.
Lifting my eyes in this sanctuary, I see the cross you didn't have to carry. I close my eyes and picture the attack-the flesh hanging loosly on your back, stripped, beaten, object of mock bleading, bruised, your body in shock. Thrown to the ground, nails driven in, placed on a hill and mocked again. "it is finished" you faintly said, with a speared side and thorns on your head. deserted, betrayed, alone, naked murder, adultry, deceit, hatred drunkeness, gossip, demon possesion cursing, incest, porn addiction drugs, wickedness, anger, violence, homosexuality, pride, wrath, arrogance foolishness, theft, prostitution. you became my substitution. Lord teach me to pray, and to listen; show me the way, and give me passion. Be my master and king, and forever I will sing: I'm free, no longer slave to sin, I belong to Jesus, he's coming agian. I can throw all my sin at his throne, and never again will I walk alone. I can lay my troubles down at his feet,I don't have to worry, I am complete. Alpha, omega, beginning and end creator, almighty, I call him friend. I am so in debt for what he's done for sendng his only begotten son. Grace, truth, hope, righteousness, love, joy, praise, faithfulness, goodness, kindness, upright, purity, morals, loyalty, blessed, integrity, humility, peace, mercy, godliness, happiness, generousity, courage, holiness, forgiven, redeemed, saved, adopted fullfilled, paid for, he died instead. |
