A Good Friday Reflection

Come and sing all ye that inhabit the earth;

Come all ye unseen hosts of heaven.

For the Son now makes you of great worth,

And by his blood your sin is now forgiven.

This be no random proclamation.

Its truth is proved by the Spirit’s revelation;

In accord to the will of the Father who is sovereign,

Who alone could provide salvation to men.

So come all ye who in white will be clad;

Come rejoice in the Son and be glad.

For He is now seen as Savior to the World,

As the ancient prophets hath foretold.

Our immortal and eternally blessed Lord

Hath paid our dept, a price only His blood could afford.

Though sin had called for many a lamb and calf,

Only the Perfect Son could stand in our behalf.

The very one who possessed the fullness of time

Was by Pilate found guiltless of any crime.

But the Father had appointed in ancient days long before

The pain of the cross that the Son hath now bore.

This hath become the focal point of human history

And hath long been pondered as a mystery.

Why should the Father destroy innocence

That guilty sinners might become guiltless?

It is because He alone is infinite having power over the grave,

Having the power both to condemn or to save.

He is not bound to one or the other

For if He were, He would not be an all powerful Father.

Why should any sinner such as me

Be considered worthy of life eternally?

Why should the Perfect Son suffer in my place?

Why should I be allowed to live in His grace?

Come, oh come the one whom my heart longs for!

Come and let me be Your’s forevermore!
