I Was One Reason

The weight of my sin
    caused His suffering and shame.
God's wrath against me
    caused His Lamb to be slain.
I was forgiven when God
    caused Christ's pain.
I was one reason 
    Christ Jesus came.

To deliver me,set me free
    and pay for all my sin.
Provide for me a family tree
    where by i'm grafted in.
It matters not what I have done
    nor matters where I've been.
Christ thought of me on Calvary,
    and He'd do it all again.

He's always been thinking of you when you were stillborn, and without blemish would reject his children when they make sin.That's not real love.Thank God He is the same forever.A true friend in deed. Gideon
