"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:3-5 |
THE MUSIC YOU HEAR PLAYING IS CALLED "THE BALLAD OF THE CROSS" BY ELTON SMITH AND LARRY HOLDER. FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE WORDS AND LET IT BE A BLESSING TO YOU. |
(Verse 1) By the prophets, God foretold of the sending of His Son Who would give His life to set the captive free. Stepping down from His throne and the glory He had known, Jesus came to give His life for you and me. Though He knew well the cost, He was prepared to suffer loss and give Himself as ransom for us all. Into our hopeless world He came, Endured the suffering and the shame, Every moment staying faithful to the call. (Verse 2) Yet the One who spoke of love was rejected and despised; He knew all too well the sinful heart of men. Those with eyes refused to see; Those with ears refused to hear, as they sought a way to bring Him to an end. By a friend He was betrayed, By soldiers, led away, Yet for this very hour He had come. They did not take - He freely gave; For those He came to save, the road to the cross He walked alone. (Bridge 1) He could have called a million angels to His side, Or stepped down from the cross and walked away. Yet His love held Him there, Through the pain and despair, To free us from the debt we could not pay. (Verse 3) In His suffering and pain Took the guilt and the shame As He hung between the heavens and the ground. Every nail, every thorn, Every stare, every scorn pierced the One who so freely laid it down. With His face to the sky, "It is finished!" was His cry The words that broke the gates of hell. When His final words were said, Breathed His last, bowed His head, Darkness o'er the land so quickly fell. (Bridge 2) Yet death and darkness could not stand against His power: He rose, victorious o'er the grave. In His light we now may live, By the grace He came to give All who call upon His name are surely saved! All who call upon His name are surely saved! |

Angels were sent down from Heaven to announce a blessed birth that would change the lives of millions spread across the face of the earth. |
This night was just the beginning of God's plan to bring us back to Him For His Son was sent for a purpose ~ to cleanse us from our sin. |
Jesus lived and walked among us, though He was not as many expected. Yet He fulfilled the many prophecies so the promise of new life could be accepted. |
Born in Bethlehem of the virgin, Mary, Later betrayed by a "friend" for a price, To the piercing of His hands and feet, and even the casting of the dice. |

For He'll return in clouds of glory to take God's children home And only those accepting Christ will join Him at God's throne. |
