Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians 9:15 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
Of all the gifts that God so freely gives,
There’s none to match the one on Calvary.
The sacrifice of Christ our heart relives,
And breaks it every time, too much to see.
He willingly went forth with you in mind;
His body torn and beaten horribly.
A crown of thorns upon His head was twined;
He bore it all for you so humbly.
Then, O, upon the cross they hung our Lord
Upon the cross that’s meant for you and me!
He took our sins upon His own accord
And suffered there – my Lord! – unspeakably.
God sacrificed His Son upon the cross,
A gift so great my tongue is at a loss.

Just think …. JESUS did all this with the joy before HIM Hebrews 12:2 and we will rule and reign with HIM Revelation 3:21 because of what HE did for us!
