Amazing Love
There are hideous crimes committed,
Every hour of every day;
Things we'd rather not hear about.
But, the newsman was used into he curse.
There was One Who bled so freely,
One Whose heart was pure and good,
One who lived a life of purity ~ like
Each knows we never could.
This crime, so hideous to watch,
Was performed by sinful men.
Still, no one had the power
To take His life from Him.
He laid it down, of His own will,
Complying with the Father.
They knew the only hope for man
Was there, in the gift He offered.
He would die that we might live.
He did it, still forgiving.
All men's many, many, sins
He bore to pay for living.
So, we are gifted by His death,
The splendid Hope of Heaven.
Don't turn it down. The price was great.
Amazing Love was given.
