The Great Interchange
Jesus Christ incarnate became a man
lived on this earth thirty and three years
showed to all who and what is God
faced man's opposition and all his smears
This Jesus the God-man took on our flesh
faced temptations just like us but overcame
showed life in all it's fullness by far
in that as well taking all our blame
Going to the cross as our substitute
paid for all our sins on His body on the tree
this was salvations price He paid to His father
so that His ransomed could go free
The great interchange Jesus came to do
taking our righteousness this for His very own
placing His pure garments upon us HIs elect
such merciful grace for our sins He did atone
Having Christ's spirit now within us
we can show Him to all who are lost
being of His character in words and deeds
showing to all redemptions great cost
Quote: “It is only because he became like us that we can become like him.” ? Dietrich Bonhoeffer. (1906- 1945) Christian Pastor.
