He Chose The Nails

AGAPE Love, this unconditional love… that caused Jesus Christ to make the choice to die on the cross for you and me, to bring us life, is a remarkable move that no one else would do.

Why does Jesus have to choose the nails??

See this presentation and know it yourself, and you’ll never regret that you get to know this piece of great news. =)

    WATCH THE LAMB
    Words and music by Ray Boltz

    Walking on the road to Jerusalem
    The time had come to sacrifice again
    My two small sons,
    They walked beside me on the road,
    The reason that they came
    Was to watch the lamb

    CHORUS:
    Daddy, daddy what will we see there?
    There’s so much we don’t understand
    So I told them of Moses
    And Father Abraham
    And then I said,
    Dear children, Watch the lamb

    For there will be so many
    In Jerusalem today
    We must be sure the lamb
    Doesn’t run away
    And I told them of Moses
    And Father Abraham
    And then I said,
    Dear children, Watch the lamb

    When we reached the city
    I knew something must be wrong
    There were no joyful worshippers
    No joyful worship songs
    I stood there with my children
    In the midst of angry men
    And then I heard the crowd cry out,Crucify Him

    We tried to leave the city
    But we could not get away
    Forced to play in this drama,
    A part I did not wish to play
    Why upon this day
    Were men condemned to die?
    Why were we standing here
    Where soon they would pass by?

    I look and said, Even now they come
    The first one cried for mercy,The people gave him none
    The second one was violent,
    He was arrogant and loud
    I still can hear his angry voice
    Screaming at the crowd

    Then someone said, There’s Jesus!
    And I scarce believed my eyes
    A man so badly beaten,
    He barely looked alive
    Blood poured from His body,
    From the thorns upon His brow
    Running down the cross
    And falling to the ground

    I watched Him as He struggled
    I watched Him as He fell
    The cross came down upon His back,
    The crowd began to yell
    In that moment I felt such agony
    In that moment I felt such loss
    Until a Roman soldier grabbed my arm
    And screamed, You, carry His cross!

    At first I tried to resist him
    Then his hand reached for his sword
    And so I knelt and took
    The cross from the Lord
    I placed it on my shoulder
    And started down the street
    The blood that He’d been shedding
    Was running down my cheek

    They led us to Golgotha
    They drove nails
    Deep in His feet and hands
    An yet upon the cross
    I heard Him pray, Father forgive them
    Oh, never have I seen such love
    In any other eyes
    Into they hands I commit My spirit,
    He prayed and then He died

    I stood for what seemed like years
    I’d lost all sense of time
    Until I felt two tiny hands
    Holding tight to mine
    My children stood there weeping
    I heard the oldest say
    Father, please forgive us
    The lamb ran away

    Daddy, daddy what have we seen here?
    There’s so much
    That we don’t understand
    So I took them in my arms
    And we turned and faced the cross
    And then I said,
    Dear children, watch the Lamb.

    Great stuff. I like your blog very much. Lots of spiritual food for the soul. After reading the nails, it sort of reignites my passion for Christ. God bless
