Deep inside my soul
An intense throbbing seizes me
A force so strong & powerful
It brings me to my knees
I cry out for mercy
Does anyone hear me?
Am I forced to go on like this,
Or somehow can I be free?
Suddenly I look up
Where could I be?
For I was not where I started
When I fell upon my knees
The streets were dirty & dusty
There was a sea nearby
And as I walked a little
I heard a faint cry
The longer & further that I walked
More voices I could hear
And when I finally reached them
Into my view these things appeared
A man covered with blood
That ran from every rip in his flesh
Staggering with a cross on His back
Being glared at from right to left
I watched as they led Him
To a place they called "The Skull"
How could they I wondered
Beat Him, & watch Him fall
They nailed Him to the wood
By His hands & feet
He asked his Father why?
But against the people, He did not speak
I stood there for what seemed like hours
And hours turned to years
Until I realized I was back on my knees
Where I had cried out in fear
Why?! I yelled when I realized
What He had done for me
I’m so unworthy Lord
To even touch Your feet
You suffered & died
For someone as sinful as me
Why did you do that Lord
How can this be?
And the Lord took me in His arms
He held me & He said
Because I really love you
With me there’s no fear or dread
But Jesus, why’d you die for me
I persisted
Because my love is un-conditional
He insisted
And then I saw how much
The Lord really did love me so
And I wanted to try to love Him back
I wanted to let it show
So friends, when you hear this
Let’s remember something
Christ loved us while we were sinners
And He was a King
So please don’t be ashamed
Of your love for Him
He loved us before & after
While we were in sin
I pray you always remember this
The love of the Savior
Who died & rose again for us
So we could be with Him forever
