For God so loved the world,that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Behold! a spotless Victim dies, My Surety on the tree;
The Lamb of God the Sacrifice, He gave Himself for me!
Whatever curse was mine He bore; The wormwood and the gall
There in that lone mysterious hour, My cup--He drained it all!
Lord Jesus! Thou, and none beside, It's bitterness could know,
Nor other tell Thy joy's full tide, That from that cup shall flow.
Thine is the joy, but yet 'tis mine, 'Tis ours as one with Thee
My joy flows from that grief of Thine, Thy death brings life to me!
And while the ages roll along, This shall my glory be;
And this the new and endless song, Thy love to us--to me!
"Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable Gift!"
2 Corinthians 9:15

It was the amazing truth in this verse that spoke to my heart almost 31 years ago when I trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour.
I didn't trust in the verse, but rather in the Person the verse spoke of :-)
