| It Was For This |

In the brevity of time out of the endlessness of eternity, A miracle From the glory of Heaven into the crudeness of a manger! A baby–still From the Creator of the world and throne Supreme Despised, rejected, mocked thy God hath been And from where angels, saints adore Him on cruel cross, the masses scoff and scorn Him The only sacrifice of worth– A Blameless Lamb from infant birth God’s only SON! He died–the darkness filled the earth Past, agony of sins dark curse Salvation WON! Now–Conqueror in the Heavenlies, God Supreme The only sinless Man this world hath seen Eternal Bliss The work is done–thy soul is won If thou but do believe IT WAS FOR THIS. |
