Deep in Our Hearts

Killed upon a crimson cross

Agony on display

A Lamb offered up His body

The Life, the Truth the Way

 

He who knew no sin became sin for us

He took upon Himself the suffering we deserved

And offered us His glory and righteousness before God

The physical pain was only a portion of what He endured

 

It stung more than emotional torment

His Father turned His head away, while Jesus hung in darkness

He knew sweet fellowship with the Father from eternity past

He felt the anguish of separation from God

So we could be forgiven – a forgiveness that will last

 

He was fully God and fully man who took upon Himself the sin of all mankind

On a dark Friday, He cried out “It is finished!” His heart stopped beating, His breathing ceased.

His lifeless body lay drenched in scarlet

To set multitudes of captives free

 

When Sunday came, a power far surpassing all we know released

God the Father rose Jesus from the dead

Now our sins can find forgiveness and all condemnation leaves

 

Healing flows from the One who suffered

We can find eternal salvation. Our bodies receive full restoration.

Now we can come boldly to the throne of grace because the temple veil was torn in half

Most importantly, Jesus bought for us an eternal relationship with Him

And we can reach out to those around us proclaiming the cross and the risen Lamb

Given to us for freedom deep in our hearts

Jesus endured separation from God so we could know the Father

Deep in our hearts
