I created all as I thought of you I smiled as earth’s beauties I made For you were, and are, always before me Life was planned for your growth and your change I thought of you, my beloved child For I had already determined to come To ransom you- at whatever the cost What needed to be…it would all be done And so I came in the midst of time My everlasting love to prove To submit my will unto the Father’s Descending below all that would happen to you I lived each moment in righteousness Loving you, as I’d loved Father above Baptized unto Him in the Jordan The Spirit descending, from heaven, as dove I healed and served in sorrows and joys And through each moment, I always thought of you Hoping my life would be your example Of how to live, and of all that you should do Yet, I always knew that you would stumble That your greatest regrets, in life, would be Not your trials, but your careless mistakes The pain you’d caused and the sorrows you would leave I could not bear to see you suffer these alone Without hope that you could truly be- set free So I determined to pay for each of these Bringing th’eternal consequences unto me So I lived for you and taught for you Amid the taunting, the threats, and the scorn For I was ordained to be slaughtered As your Lamb, I was the sacrifice born Then on the eve of the Passover feast Sacrament was given, as I blessed and brake Symbols of my body and of my blood Communion giving you my Spirit and my strength And as the sun’s rays withdrew from the land I, the Son, prepared to do the same… In Gethsemane’s garden, I suffered all your sins Blood burst forth as I took upon your pains And when I thought I could bear no more God sent an angel- as all eternity hung… In this fragile balance…there I thought of you To save you- was the hope to which I clung And I bowed down in love, as I was stripped and chained The air cracked and the whips tore through my skin When legions of angels would have borne me away I stayed there, filled with love for you within I accepted the soldiers’ crown of mocking thorns Piercing my body, now torn and bleeding through I accepted all of it, in the simple hope That one day, you would accept me too I wanted you to know though your sins were scarlet That I could change you back, just as the whitest snow That I would condescend to save you- no matter how far That in your suffering, I’d never leave you alone My love for you gave me the strength to be tried When “Crucify Him!” was the all-resounding cry I thought of you as my condemnation grew closer You brought me peace when Pilate sentenced me to die Then throughout the streets, I dragged my heavy beam Stumbling and struggling until I fell Yet knowing, that to save you- there was no other way I drank the dregs of this bitter cup of hell And as I was nailed to the tortured cross With each pound..the mallet…my flesh tore through My body racked as I painfully cried Father forgive them!... For I loved them as I love you! Then I was raised to bear the suffering hours While disciples and my dear mother wept ‘neath the cross And throughout this searing pain and agony I told myself, you were worth this ev’ry cost I submitted to a lawless judgment for you To atone for all pain…sorrow…sin…regret Until God and all creation could finally accept The price was high enough…that I had paid all debts Then came the profoundly lonely moment As my Father’s Spirit, He reluctantly withdrew Allowing me to be forsaken…to triumph alone I hung there and in the silence thought of you I thought of you…knowing I could not yet leave A while longer…the cross, I must endure Then all would be paid, and all would be right My saving grace would finally be sure I bore those moments, hoping you’d always know Through my strength every challenge could be won That for each sorrow, shame, and regret If you’d ask- I’d give you th'power to overcome And when it was finished, I humbly bowed my head And I let my grateful spirit fly As the blood and water from my broken heart Flowed to the cross from the sword that pierced my side Still, my mission- as Messiah- was yet not over For I had spirits that had gone before to save I went and threw open the doors of spirit prison Rescuing all from Satan’s grasp and the from the grave I thought again of you on the third solemn day Resurrected within the sacred tomb You were in my thoughts as angels rolled away the stone I smiled for you as the sun dispelled all gloom Praise be to God! The Atonement was now finished! And I promise that I’ll always care for you Please trust me and accept my powerful grace Dearest Child, All I’ve done- it was for you!
