The greatest act of grace
That has ever taken place.
Happened some 2000 years ago
When a sinless Man was put to death
Giving us grace as He took His last breath
And paying a debt that He did not owe
He was falsely accused
And put before Pilot
He was sentenced to death
But He still remained silent
As the crowd yelled for Barabbas
Christ stood there alone
As He took mankind’s sins
And made them His own
He was beaten and flogged and given 39 lashes
He was lead through the streets in front of the masses
He was nailed to that cross and put between 2 thieves
The pain He endured was beyond belief
As He struggled to breath He called on His father
Then He gave up His life and died with great honor
And 3 days later He rose again
He overcame death and made an atonement for sin
This selfless act of God’s only Son
Was the greatest Act of Mercy
That ever was done.
