God’s Grace

[fisherman1]

Why did God leave His throne
To come to earth to make his home
He left His glory up above
Took human form to show His love
To mankind who hated Him
He willingly took all their sin
The glorious crown that He had worn
He traded for a wreath of thorns
The abominations of men’s acts
God took and laid upon Christ’s back
To show to us His awesome grace
He let men spit into His face
They scourged his back and hit his head
Beat Him til He was almost dead
On Calvary He was crucified
And forgave mankind before He died
Now we can boldly go to His throne
And call Heaven our eternal home​

 

[Willamena]

Two years ago, I wouldn't have understood that poem.

I still perfer Leonard Cohen.
