Thank you, Jesus!

by Mary Ellen Smith

Thank you, Jesus for thinking of me
When they nailed your wrists upon that tree.
When they crossed your feet and nailed them tight
That you had a thought of me that night.

Thank you for you took my sin
As the splinters cut into your skin.
As they spit and mocked your Holy name
You hung there still and took the blame.

Thank you Lord for the blood you shed
From the crown of thorns around your head.
For the stripes you bore, for the pain endured
For the lasting witness of your Word.

Thank you Jesus for your saving grace
And someday when I see your face,
I'll sing for all eternity
Of what it is you've done for me!

It never ceases to amaze me, that someone I've never actually physically met would do that for me. It would amaze me that ANYONE would do that for me, even a family member whom I know face to face and who loves me because I'm family, but especially someone as wonderful and blameless as Jesus, 2000 years before I was even born. I honestly cannot fathom that kind of love. Did Buddah suffer in that way so I would not have to? Ramtha? Crazy Horse? Any of the other entities that are worshiped or revered in these times? Which of these laid down his life so that I would not have to be separated from the Most Holy God for eternity? None but Jesus. (OK, sorry, I'm done ranting now...LOL!!!) This is a beautiful, personal account of His love for each of us!
