Jesus Was Forsaken - The Valentine of Hope

 

Jesus Was Forsaken

The  Valentine of Hope

---

Jesus asked why on His darkest day.

He suffered with pain our sins to pay.

He was forsaken on Calvary;

So you and I could be ever free.

He was forsaken for you and me;

That murderous day on Calvary.

His children will not be forsaken;

For His blood was shed for men's  sin.

A love gesture written in His blood;

Jesus forsaken, because of love.

The greatest act of love ever sown.

The greatest act of mercy ever shown.

In letters of love it's been written.

He died so we could be forgiven.

For God so loved the world that He gave;

The only answer for men to be saved.

Jesus, a merciful valentine;

True love, none so precious, none so kind.

Such goodness there has never been;

See His heart, see His love, see Him?

Jesus, a perfect white rose of grace;

Defeated the power of the grave.

The  valentine of hope for the world;

Our victorious risen Lord.

Jesus asked why on His darkest day.

He suffered in grief our sins to pay.

He was forsaken on Calvary.

T'was true love given for you and me.

Perhaps Jesus asked Why -

So We Would Ask Why?

Jesus was forsaken - 

So we would never be forsaken.

A mother could forsake her child, a husband could forsake his wife, a grown child could forsake his sickly parents, but God will not forsake his children.  Because Jesus took upon himself our sin.

Jesus was forsaken because of sin.  

This Is Real Love

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
