His Infinite Atonement!

 

Long before anyone was born

We stood in council with our Lord.

One brother sought to be our God

God chose Jesus, we did applaud.


All the prophets spoke of Him

His mercy, grace, would never dim.

All who followed His commands

Wouldn’t suffer all that law demands.


God then would send His only son

Born to a virgin, the only one.

He grew up teaching all he knew

Of how to live and what to do.


His love of truth hardened hearts

From old ways many would not part.

Many chose His heavy road

Yoked with Christ to bear the load.


On to the olive press he went

To complete why He was sent.

Suff’ring all for you and me

He knew that’s how it had to be.


Nailed to a cross on Calvary

“My God, why did you forsake me?”

His mission done, His body spent

To His father, He now went.


They placed His body in a tomb

It now became a sacred room.

Mother earth cried violently

Her creator, gone was He.


Sunday came as it always does.

An empty tomb, now it was.

Our Savior rose on the third day.

His Atonement paved the way.


Never can we comprehend

That what He did will never end.

Grateful we should ever be

So we will ever live with Thee.
