| The Passion Of Christ |
|
Lord, I went to see a movie About you, tonight, and I prayed. The realization of Your crucifixion Finally took place in my heart And that's where it must stay. I know You thought of me As You were nailed and beaten, And put upon that cross. Unbelievers crucified You And the world, today, Still suffers the loss. Blood was on Your brow And it flowed from Every part of Your being. I thank you, God, for your Son, And let goodness come Into this world and let it Be all that I will be seeing. I finally saw, with a human eyes, The suffering and the pain As Your blood fell, on the ground, And it left a crimson red stain. How your Mother must have felt To watch her only begotten Son Die to set others free. It made me think of how Much love she had for You As she watched You give it all up For a sinner like me. I bowed my head and cried, "Oh, God, You are So Holy, in every way. Let there be a change In this wicked world. Teach us all to forgive, Repent, and to pray. Please come into the hearts Of the ones that are lost. Forgive them their sins and inequities For it was You, and You alone, That paid that final cost. Lord, I know I have sinned Against You, like the Evil one's did so many years ago." In that movie theater, tonight, I asked, "Draw me close, sweet Jesus. Take my adversities and Help a unworthy sinner to Walk hand in hand with You, As I repent and continue to grow. |
