Forsaken, For You

"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsake me?"
Cried Jesus, the three hours of darkness being spent.
He yielded up the ghost and the earth did quake,
When in twain, the veil of the temple was rent.
FOR YOU!

A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
In His own body on the tree our sins He bare
'Though pure and undefiled, it pleased God to bruise Him
He hath pour out His soul unto death and paid the fare.
FOR YOU!

God was satisfied with the Saviour's finished work
And raised Him the third day to return to His glory above
For He has found a ransom -- the Lamb of God
Who, alone, suffered, bled and died out of love.
FOR YOU!

Return unto God who will abundantly pardon.
Call ye upon the Saviour while He is near;
Seek ye the Lord Jesus while He may be found,
And His perfect love will cast out every fear.
FOR YOU!

Behold, NOW is the day of salvation.
'Though it seems soon, tomorrow may be too late.
The Lord is NOW offering a full forgiveness.
Your decision to accept or reject might seal fate.
FOR YOU!

When you hear His voice, harden not your heart.
Admit you're a sinner deserving to perish;
Behold the Spotless Victim who died in your stead
And to His precious blood -- cling, trust and cherish!

Have a blessed Lord's Day!
