Oh To See My Name Written In His Wounds

The son of God in human flesh 
Jesus Christ incarnate was He 
came here with one purpose in mind 
to save mankind and set them free 

This He accomplished on Calvary's tree 
there Jesus the Godman was crucified 
paying the price for our sins 
taking our place for us He died 

Ponder afresh at this unselfishness 
the eternal God in mankind's place 
shedding His blood in full atonement 
displaying God's magnificent grace 

Now look at His wounds 
is your name written there? 
has Jesus blood covered your sin? 
by faith believing can you dare? 

Oh to see my name written in His wounds 
such an honour is given to those that believe 
who can confess that they've been ransomed 
from eternal death never again to grieve

AUTHOR NOTES: When listening to Stuart Townend's marvellous worship song 'The power of the cross', these thoughts came to me thinking on God's great love in giving His son for our sins.
