“God tells me not to labor to put away my sin; I am so weak and sinful, I never could begin. . .But blessed truth I know it, though ruined by Adam’s fall, Christ has my soul redeemed; Yes, Christ Has Done it all.
I have not first to seek Him because in Love He sought for me; when far from God I wandered and was lost in sin and misery, He opened my ears and gave me to listen to His call. He sought me and He found me; Yes, Christ has done it all.
And when in Heavenly glory my ransomed soul shall be, from sin and all pollution forever and ever Free; I’ll cast my crown before Him and loud His Grace extoll; Thou Lord has Thyself redeemed me; Christ, Thou has done it all.”
Jesus, to His Eternal Name our spirits long to raise this theme that Who from His
Father’s bosom came, His chosen people to redeem. In wandering mazes dark and deep, where evil roams in quest of prey; it was there He caught the wandering sheep and did him on His shoulder’s lay.
No dreary waste however remote, shall hide the sheep from Jesus’ eye; He’ll have the number that He bought and on His shoulders they shall lie. Though often they slip and sometimes fall, no prowling wolf shall ever destroy. He’ll on His shoulders lay them all and bear them to the flock with Joy.
He bore their sins in days of old and hid their sins in oblivion’s sea, and thus secured within the fold. . .all those who on His shoulder’s lay. John Kent
Not just love…but Covenant Love! loved and sealed from everlasting past to everlasting eternity future…to the sick and lost sheep who are written in the lambs book of life!
