Gino,

 

thank U for the kind comments on the letter I wrote about the cost of sin. It was partly recent and partly from thoughts God gave me in a poem I wrote that was published on Five Doves some time back titled: "Thanks for Redeeming Me".   Here is the poem:

 

THANKS FOR REDEEMING ME!

 

No one will ever know all the darkness that you faced,

To bring your light of life to a dying human race;

No one will ever see the many tears that you cried,

Nor feel your depth of heartache-

As you bowed your head and died;

 

Who could ever drink the bitter gall you drank alone?

Or face the deepest dark abode when blood for me atoned?

No greater love can ever match the blood of Calvary,

Or find the words to say, O' God, THANKS for redeeming me!

Thanks for redeeming me!

Thank you God for redeeming me!

 

You put my tears in a bottle, your own like a flood,

And my prayers in a censer; you sweat great drops of blood,

You took a crown of thorns; you were beaten, scourged, and tried,

To give to me a crown of life, you gladly bled and died!

 

Who could ever drink the bitter gall you drank alone?

Or face the deepest dark abode when blood for me atoned?

No greater love can ever match the blood of Calvary,

Or find the words to say, O' God, THANKS for redeeming me!

Thanks for redeeming me!

Thank you God for redeeming me!

 

None can ever feel the deepest anguish that you bore,

Or plunge the depths of grief as you bared your very soul,

None can ever know the bitter agony you braved,

For sin's dark stain you paid the price and faced the cruelest grave!

 

Who could ever drink the bitter gall you drank alone?

Or face the deepest dark abode when blood for me atoned?

No greater love can ever match the blood of Calvary,

Or find the words to say, O' God, THANKS for redeeming me!

Thanks for redeeming me!

Thank you God for redeeming me!
