A Price I Could Not Pay
I coudn't pay the debt of death,
so He bought me His blessed breath,
He entered the exit of the earth,
to bring forth salvation & strength.
Who could have carried the cross
or be disgraced amidst dust and dross?
Yet he lived to lift the load of loss,
& gave me grace and glory for gross.
For those in tears of toil and torment,
he was lashed & made to lament,
for those who suffer and are silent,
He gave up his life that mighty moment.
Amazing love sent to all who will live,
a blissful bond to all who will believe,
righteous for those who will recieve,
a pregnant purpose, who will percieve?
