The Sacrifice

God. 

You are so amazing 

There are actually no words sufficient enough to describe 

Your goodness. 

There perhaps is no better way to 

Describe the sacrifice You made for us then just that: 

The sacrifice You made for us. 

Your Son took on the world's sin. 

For Him to take that on, means 

We take off 

Worry, shame, fear, doubt. 

Your Son soaked in every punch 

Without even a shout. 

It hurts my heart to think of what 

My sin did. 

Then I smile, because it makes me 

Realize You're there. 

If my heart hurts for You then 

In me You reside. 

HA! I giggle out loud now to think 

Of the change inside. 

My heart: hard as stone, 

Cold as ice to the core. 

Ripped it out, crushed it up, 

Pulled out junk--it was sore. 

But I loved it, it made me cling to 

You to restore. 

I never want to leave Your side, 

Give me more 

Of Your knowledge, love, comfort and grace 

Am I silly for asking? 

All I need is to state 

The want, desire and need to know more 

You were there from the beginning 

And even before I was born, even thought of, 

Or a partial existence. 

You know when I'm coming and going 

You straight up wrote the script, this 

Is no news 

My thoughts, challenges, struggles 

They are perfectly placed. 

I am thankful because this means I am graced 

With the blessings of lessons 

Taught by the one true life professor 

Man, I thought I had life but In fact had much lesser. 

Death. Actually. 

Dead man walking is what I dressed in. 

I had thought I had life 

But was blinded by sin, 

Binded by sin, 

Wrapped up, consumed and 

Totally decided to sin. 

And that is just me. 

Count it. 

I. 

Just one. 

Christ died for the world 

Death-zero, Christ-1 

Scratch that. 

Infinity 

Eternal. 

Salvation. 

We shouldn't be able to touch His score on the board 

Or keep up in His race 

And yet once again I state: 

How great is our Lord? 

Gift of life. 

No regrets 

By the blood that was poured.
