Lenten Poem: Christ Did It All
2007-06-04 04:18 PM
Christ Did It All
God has revealed His righteousness
Through Jesus Christ His Son.
Christ lived the perfect life for us;
For us the victory’s won.
Born of a virgin, under law;
Christ did what we could not.
He kept God’s laws so perfectly
Without one single blot.
He suffered at the hands of men.
He took our punishment.
Nails pierced His flesh and caused Him pain
When to the cross He went.
He hung upon that cross to bear
The burden of our sins.
He died because God loves us so
And wanted sin forgiven.
Christ did not stay within the grave
But, rose to make a place
In Heavenly homes before God’s throne,
And this He did by Grace.
So when our earthly race is o’er,
By faith we’ll meet the Lord;
We’ll enter Christ’s eternal home
According to God’s Word.
