Why

Why would He go to that tree To save evil humanity Why would He bleed and die~you see To keep us alive in our vanity Why would He go to that tree To save us all and even me In the beginning He created Man, the crown of creation A mirror of Him One created being to tend The garden created by Him How He loved those long walks In the cool of the day Before it got dark Man talking directly with His creator How He loved the man Then man fell into the temper's hands Now only vanity at his command The beautiful earth fell to the curse As did animals, bacteria and land Why did He go to that tree To save evil humanity Redeem mankind, earth and clim He saved all that did fall Oh! How He loved His man

Andrea, I am so glad that we agree on this point. I may never see you in this life, but by our agreement on this one point means we will be able to see each other in heaven. Sara K

Paige, yes, I don't see how He could endure that, but He did. He knew that it was going to happen, and He knew why. Wonderful Savior. Sara K
