The Perfect Sacrifice
When thoughts like flames consumed my heart,
It set me ablaze to look at the start.
The day when He created Eden and set man to rule the nations.
Then He flooded the earth,
yet kept Noah to save mankind from extermination.
Then he came Jacob ,Moses ,Samuel and David a mighty warrior.
He at last sent a helpless babe to bear the burden,
which on His shoulders He had laid.
He bled to death though He had no sin.
The perfect sacrifice then was made,
when The Son of Man on a tree was nailed .
Oh! just for me a mere wretch ,
He had to die .
In my pride ,I did not consider Him beautiful,
yet He was the perfect sacrifice.
