While I chose my pride
He chose three nails and a cross
A spear in his side
While rivers of holy blood
Poured in streams of redemption
***
While I stood with them
Scoffing to hide my just fear
He gave perfect love
As He bowed His thorn-crowned Head
Declaring, ‘it is finished’
***
While I stood condemned
Jesus signed my redemption
With His sacred blood
And now all who will believe
May have everlasting life…
***
(I was going to stop here, but how can I? One more tanka of humble grateful praise)
Sing hallelujah
Lift your voice in joyful praise
Christ reigns forever
This King calls us His children
All we must do is believe
