No Greater Love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lord who called forth night and day,

And shaped the universe,

Himself stepped out of heaven’s might

To walk into a curse.

 

He left all power and command

To become just a man,

Knowing full well what it would mean,

For He had laid the plan.

 

The only route to redemption

Was defined before sin

Had ever laid its hand upon

The heart of broken men.

 

He knew that He would be the lamb

Called to the sacrifice,

But such was His love for the lost

He chose to be the price.

 

We have a choice to follow Him

Or simply turn away,

But our sin took all choice from Him.

There was no other way.

 

So He who formed the endless stars

And calls each one by name,

Became mortal and died alone

To wash away our blame.

 

Matthew 27: 54

When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
