March 2008...Easter Grace


Jesus, I'll never fathom Your ways,
Why You chose to suffer and die
An awful death upon the cross,
For a sinful person such as I.

Oh Lord, in shame You died
Before an angry, cursing mob;
Carrying the sin of all mankind
I bow my head in sorrow, and sob.

You did nothing to deserve this,
You came to share what's good.
Your sacrifice to redeem me,
May never be fully understood.

I can only ask the Holy Spirit
To help my words convey
The gratitude in my heart
As He intercedes for me today.

I unite all my sufferings to
the sufferings of Jesus on that tree,
May this lead to a new experience,
A closer walk with Thee.

God, I am a sinner, forgive all my sins;
I believe as I confess to You,
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour,
Come into my heart, take my life and all I do.

This Easter I stand before You,
Clothed in Your glory and love;
Everlasting life is Your gift to me because
You have risen to Your Father above.
