My Savior, My God,
in human form.
I'm drowning.
Consumed by Your
love.
Overwhelmed by Your
grace
Captivated by the
mystery of Your mercy.
Enraptured by the
purpose of Your divine plan.
What is the purpose of Your plan?
My Savior, My God,
in human form.
You became humanity.
You lived and You
died.
You loved and You
lost.
Anger and Anguish,
Joy and Sorrow.
Blood, Sweat, and
Tears.
What was the purpose
of Your humanity?
I'm drowning in the
tears You cried for me.
You wept in Your
grief.
You grieved because
I wept.
God, I'm grieved
because You wept.
I'm unworthy of Your
tears.
Father, why do You
care?
Why did You love me when I caused You pain?
I'm drowning in the
sweat You poured for me.
Overwhelming stress
filled Your soul.
Stress caused by my
overwhelming sin.
Heavy burdens and
stress I couldn't carry.
Stress so severe it
turned Your sweat drops to blood.
Father, why would
You carry a load that wasn't Yours to bear?
Why did You carry me
when my sins weighed You down?
I'm drowning in the
blood You shed for me.
They whipped You,
because You came to heal my wounds.
They cursed You,
because You came to set me free.
They mocked You,
because You came to redeem my life.
They ripped Your
flesh, but I broke Your heart.
Father, why would
You die for the selfish sinner?
Why would You come to
suffer for sins You didn't commit?
My Savior, My God,
in human form.
The agony You felt,
was caused by the hand humanity dealt.
You gave us free
will, in freedom we turned from Your will.
We followed the path
You warned us against.
We stumbled and fell
by our own foolish choice.
But You picked us up
without hesitation.
You desired our love
and You paid the greatest price.
The Perfect Son,
forsaken by God, but never forsaking us.
Incapable of
perfection, I couldn't pay the price.
Unworthy of
redemption, but you paid no mind.
You saw past my
misconceptions,
Past my shameful
indiscretions.
What did You see in me that was worth saving?
The answer: You saw
nothing good, just an empty vessel.
Denied by Your
children, rejected by the ones You came to save.
You entered
humanity, even knowing the price.
You gave us hope and
the chance for a new beginning.
You lived a perfect
life to show us the perfect example.
You gave us the
freedom to choose, the freedom to love.
We choose to love You.
We choose follow Your will.
Father, what was the
purpose of Your blood, sweat, and tears?
Love was the reason.
Love was the reason
you came.
Love was the reason
you died.
God, You are Love,
and Love is the reason I died and now live again.
