Atonement
A plan was presented,
In which One was chosen,
To carry the burden,
To give eternal progress.
Agency was the founding proposal,
And opposition was to be,
A perpetual agent to achieve advancement,
In this most critical time of being.
In this plan a heavenly law was broken,
And a falling away resulted.
There needed to be a way,
For all mankind to be saved.
So God our Father who loves us,
Sent His Son on our behalf,
Anointed and sacred,
To be the atoning One and mark the path.
He was the Lamb of God,
The Firstborn, perfect and blameless,
The very greatest in heaven,
Offered up for us to return.
To magnify His Father’s power,
And give glory to Him on high,
He came to ultimately suffer, be crucified, die,
And raise again from death to life.
To do His Father’s will, is His only design.
His atonement is for all mankind,
Infinite and eternally divine, to make us clean,
Purify, redeem, set free, and never die again.
