For You

He gave . . .

He gave His life's blood selflessly . . .

So, today we gather at Calvary . . .


I barely have words to give . .

When You poured out so that I may live . . .


I am plagued by worry, by fear . . .

When all I want is to simply draw near . . .


Write on, certainly I must . . .

So in You, I place my eternal trust . . .


In the dark of the night, from the garden green, they steal You away.

They come in anger and they come ravished with lust,
   Simply because they would not trust.

The power of greed,
    They have allowed to lead,
       and they have cried, "Crucify!" Abraham's seed.

And I weep and I lament, I bend trembling knee,
    Because now I truly do see,
      I have allowed greed to lead me.

And on that dark day, my voice rang out!
    "Crucify Him!" gushed out in an angry shout!

But through that angry mob,
    His eyes caught my sob,

And He said, "Come here,
    you, my little one, simply draw near."

"My dear, come before Me and kneel,
    and I promise you, I will certainly and eternally heal."

Through the crowd I break and run,
    straight to the Heavenly Son!

With gentle eye He looks at me,
    and I scramble up upon His knee.

"Steady now," He gently speaks,
    "My time has come," and my tears begin to leak.

"My fate, I will gladly meet,
     to crush my little one's enemy under My feet!"

He sets me at the foot of His cross,
    And my Savior climbs up to endure His great loss.

In that noon time hour,
    I see His majestic power.

For the noon day sun grows dim,
    As she weeps over the impending death of Him.

The noon day sun, dark as night?
     A fairytale! Some may say, for the noon sun must give light!

A fairytale?  Certainly not!
     Such is a lie from that place of rot!

For here is the truth ~

Our Father of Everlasting Light,
   Turned His beautiful face, so bright
From Son Who willingly offered up His might
   And selflessly laid down His right
Broken and disfigured, such a ghastly sight,
   That our Father of Everlasting Light,
Turned His beautiful face so bright,
   And our land was covered in the deepest of night,
I promise, that this is certainly right.


Why He did what He did, we certainly can't see,
    But we know He has saved us for eternity!
