CHRIST DIED FOR ME!
I never really gave much thought To what Christ had done just for me. Until a dream I had one night And through it what God allowed me to see.
I was standing in the crowd When Jesus was brought to them. I could feel the disappointment He felt As they all cried "Crucify Him!"
I followed the procession As it led up Calvary's hill. And watched as Christ faced the anguish Of what He knew to be God's will.
The stripes that cut into His back Each time the whip was cracked Were placed there because of me And the faith that I had lacked.
And on the way to Calvary I saw how many times He stumbled and fell. Because of the heavy cross He carried So I wouldn't have to face hell.
I stood and watched in horror As they laid Him on the tree. That's when I knew in my heart He was facing all this because of me.
My stubborn pride that excluded Christ from my daily plans, Provided the force that sent the nails All the way through His hands.
With each blow of the hammer That drove the nails through His feet, I saw each time I ran from God Only for my sins to repeat.
Pressed down in His head Was woven very carefully Of every malicious word I had ever said.
The sharpness of my tongue Each and every time I lied Was transferred to the sword As it was thrust through His side.
I saw His final moments As His life started to dim. Because of my life long rejection I witnessed His Own Father forsake Him.
When I awoke I suddenly knew What Christ wanted me to see: That He would have rather died Than to live eternally without me.
