I saw this video on YouTube and thought it would be appropriate for Good Friday. Every time I see this, tears well up in my eyes as I realise just how much my Saviour loves me. He went through all this suffering, shame and torture for all the things that I do without even thinking. That was the ultimate demonstration of love. Often as Christians, we make light of what He did for us and really only remember the sacrifice He made for us and the suffering He went through once a year on Good Friday. I mean, it is a good thing to remember this on Good Friday, but why just once a year?
Anyway, I hope the video touches your heart like it did mine. I have posted the lyrics of the song by Joel Engle below.
Lord, please help me to never forget what You did for me. May Your love continue to be by teacher and may my love for You continue to grow and motivate me to do and be all I can for You alone.
Joel Engle - Shadow Of Your Cross
Lamb of God, Son of man how you suffered how You bled
With a crown of thorns pressed upon Your head
You chose the road of pain You walked the hill of all my shame, all my shame
In the shadow of Your cross, I will live for all my days
How could I forget the price You paid?
In the shelter of Your love I will give You all my praise
In the shadow of Your cross I will stay
Man of sorrows crucified pure and holy sacrifice
As the hammer hit the nail You offered up Your life
You gave up heaven for Your own
You took our punishment alone
You were so alone
O King of Majesty
Forever I will sing
Of the gift You gave to me
You gave to me
