In the midst of a world marred with foolishness and disobedience, people hating and maligning one another, we were misled by others and slaves to evil desires. Our lives enthralled in wickedness
We hated others and they hated us.
OH!!! Woe to the world that lay in utter despondency… waiting for the skies to shut their eyes-what a quagmire …Humanity was caught up between the devil and the deep blue sea!
Amidst this, a silver lining appears in the cloud, the radiance of the Father most high, in its magnificence and splendor.
His love was manifested; in due time his kindness and mercy for humanity- majesty saved us!
Oh!! What love is this?
That paid so dearly, that we the guilty ones should be set free.
Oh!! What love is this?
That cost God; H is life, His divinity, His throne, His majesty, and His very essence… only that we might share in His awesomeness.
Oh!! What love is this?
That has given us the opportunity to be called the sons of God.
Oh!! What love is this?
That paid the ransom, which forgave our sins, which gave us the “Zoë” of God, which has given us the opportunity to be called His own.
This is love, oh!! This is love.
From His majesty in heaven, the reverence of a numerous company of angels
To the frail womb of humanity
Born in the squalors of a manger
Wrapped up in rags
Walked on the dusty roads of Palestine
A mere carpenter he was
Walked with the most inconsequential people of the baser sort
Loved by few, hated by most
Subjected to death, not just death, but that of a criminal
He hung on that old rugged cross for humanity
He despised the shame
He bore the brunt of the cross
On the third day He rose again!!!
This all was not done in a corner
He ascended in the midst of about 500 people
Kai!!! Oh!!! This is love
We did not demand
We did not deserve
He showed it
He bought us with the greatest price-Himself
He gave us the greatest gift – Himself
He gave us eternal hope – Himself
He bore our burdens – Himself
He made us totally whole and complete – Himself
This is love, oh!!! This is love
No doubt, this is love!!!
God is love!!!
