Once a Fallen Man

The cross, the place my Messiah laid bare, a place he shed his blood for my sins.

I know not the pain he endured, though he bore the sins that I was suppose to bare.  Such sacrifice is too great for me to fathom.

My mind still not able to comprehend such love,  when I stood on solid ground, he fell.  When I drank and ate, he thirst.

When he was scourged I was made whole,  when he was in distress, I felt at peace. 

He took my poverty and clothed me with his richness. Soothed in all pain, when he paid the penalty for all my sins.

Lord,  what a fallen man,  yet you came save me and such a fortune I do not deserve.

Stand up on your feet and shake the dust off. From today I will put a new song in you.

Put on a garment  of righteousness for you have been redeemed.

For a new birth is being given and the old creature has being renewed.

Now forget the old and looked towards the new.

Eat from the king's table, delicacies made with love. For today you shall live and live evermore.

For you are now a joint heir with Christ and those who will inherit the kingdom of God.
