HIS SACRIFICIAL GIFT
His sacrificial atonement as payment
For sin, the Son of God gave his life to
Cleanse the souls of men, makes them
Whole, pure and fresh from within, he's
The one that gives relief from death's
Separation of GOD the Creator....from
Created man who sinned, they did not
Fully comprehend the lostness of their
Fall, the relationship became impossible
To reach His presence without payment
For man's breach, only Jesus could fulfill
The law's demand for perfection, so the
Son was sent to suffer, taking upon self
The curse of death and fall of man, now
God's perfection removed the evil heart
Of men....offering salvation to all who'd
Call on the name of the Lord to be saved,
Reunited with God....his sacrificial gift for
Coming home, and paying for our wrongs.
