Ponder why our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ was crucified,
Why He went through untold sorrow,
Why it was He bled and died.
For a moment then consider,
How the cross could not restrain
Him, who rose again victorious,
Having conquered death and pain.
Was it not for us He suffered?
Was it not that we might live?
Was it not for our redemption
That His life He came to give?
Verily for us He suffered,
Underserving though we are,
That we might obtain salvation,
Through His wondrous grace and power.
For our sins the price was settled,
When our Lord was crucified,
Now He lives and is our refuge,
Where in safety we can hide.
On our part we should acknowledge
All our wrongs, and sin no more;
And our lives to Him surrender,
Trust and serve Him evermore.
