Powerfully thought provoking and moving.
Thank you for sharing @Br. Bear
Was it the nails, O Saviour,
That bound Thee to the tree?
Nay, 'twas Thine everlasting love,
Thy love for me, for me.
Oh, make me understand it,
Help me to take it in,
What it meant to Thee, the Holy One,
To bear away my sin*
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
1 John 3:1
