Wrath Meets Love

Woe unto you who I hold so dear How I long to hold you and have you near I yearn for you beloved one But Divine justice must be done For the soul that sins; it must die My wrath it must be satisfied So how do I save my beloved one? The answer lies with Christ my Son Who I’ll send to take sin on Himself Redemption will cost all my wealth To satiate my vengeful ire And save man from eternal fire My Son will do it willingly He’ll bring my darling back to me And become the object of my rage So that man might once again engage And fellowship with God above In Jesus Christ where wrath meets love.

rage seems to me a thing of Man and much too petty to be of God, perhaps there have been some misinterpetations..by Man...of God? Light & Love

A nice tone, an earnest message, I love the call to faith. L'nass is right about it. God bless you.

A smooth and flowing verse, Bob. Love the last line, "In Jesus Christ where wrath meets love". He can surely pick 'wrath' up, and transform it into something worth holding on to. A beautiful tribute to Jesus Christ, Bob. Wishing the best to you and yours..Mikki
