Good Friday

     Good Friday.  The supposed day of Jesus crucifixion.  Many times the horrible death of Jesus on the cross doesn't seem very important to me because I don't have a correct view of my sin.  When the Holy Spirit allows me to grasp the significance of my sin and the love God showed in sending his only Son to die in my place, I suddenly see why we call him...Savior.  It says in Romans that someone would scarcely die for a righteous person, but God died for sinners!  He died for us, for me, and in return we offer him our lives.  The song, Hallelujah, What a Savior says it much better than I ever could.  

  

Verse 1

Man of Sorrows! what a name

For the Son of God, who came

Ruined sinners to reclaim

Hallelujah! 

Bearing shame and scoffing rude

In my place condemned He stood

Sealed my pardon with His blood

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Chorus:

Savior, you showed your love

Defeated our sin and poured out your blood

So we praise you, Lamb that was slain

We offer our lives to proclaim

What a Savior!

Verse 2:

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;

Spotless Lamb of God was He

“Full atonement!” can it be?

Hallelujah!

Lifted up was He to die

“It is finished!” was His cry

Now in Heaven exalted high

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Verse 3:

When He comes, our glorious King

All His ransomed home to bring

Then anew His song we’ll sing

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!!!!!
