Good Friday, Good Savior, Good God

Good Friday, Good Savior, Good God:
The only hope for mankind.
For there is no one good but One,
And He took the place of many.
He suffered and died in our place
For the price for our sin to be paid.
Our good God could not let us free
Without the payment due.
We think of His wounds and His bruises.
We cry at the thought of His pain,
But do we realize the pain
Of all of God's wrath for our sin?
We cannot even imagine
What He took when He took on our sin.
He is God and He lowered Himself to man,
He took the place of wretched sinners,
And God laid on Him all our filth,
Our filth laid on God's perfect Son,
Our wretched sin placed on Him
That when God looks at us,
He sees His perfect Son.
Oh how He loves you and me.
We are His people,
Bought at a very high price.
He paid the price that was death,
But He didn't stay dead
For He's risen; praise God, He's alive!
And that is very good news.

~Has God revealed to you where you stand before Him? Has He saved your soul by taking your place? Praise God for His grace! If you have never repented (turned away from doing wrong and turned to God to save you from a life of sin) and believed (fully trusted your life to Jesus), cry to Him for forgiveness, ask Him to take over, thank Him for His indescribable gift.
