Paid In Full
On this day we sing and praise Your name as You prepare to give Your life for ours.
There is nothing in this life more precious than a man, although not a man, who would
willingly give his life for another and asking for nothing in return only that we turn our
life over to Him and walk out our lives as He did. What more must we do for You on
this day?
We stand here tonight singing, praying and crying out for You. Our tears are of joy
because we have come to know You. Our tears are of sadness of the horrible and
brutal way in which Your life was taken. You were whipped, stripped, pummeled and spit
upon before the brutality ended with Your being nailed viciously to a tree, a cross
created for You at Calvary. Why, oh why did it have to end that way? Why, oh why, did
Your life had to end so abruptly? You came, lived briefly and died for me.
I thank You, Dear Jesus for all that You have done for me. I give my life to You. I want
to follow Your words. I want to be a good student of all that You can teach me through
those You may put in my life. Dear Father You have done it all. You took the abuse.
You took on my sins and washed me clean. You showed us how we are to live…honest
and good.
Tomorrow You will be lead to that place. You will lay and take Your last breath as man
on that cross. Dear Father You have rescued us all, even those who do not know You,
yet. Three days later You rose from the grave as none other has ever done. You would
walk this earth again, briefly, letting all those who knew You before, know that You are
real and You will see them all again in Heaven. Oh how I long for the day to see Your
face. To live in a place of peace, love, no pain, just comfort and joy with everlasting life
and praising Your name.
Hallelujah to the Lord on High
