Ponder How often do we contemplate the depth of love from God
Who made us His creation though He knew the path He'd trod
The years of endless suffering with Satan on His heels
A Stranger in the wilderness no food to make His meals
Encumbered by humanity He willingly did take
Because there was no other way to work for our soul's sake
The plan for our salvation that required Sacrifice
The blood of Him Who was our Lamb our Saviour Jesus Christ
How often do we ponder what must have been on His mind
To recollect the beauty of the place He left behind
His throne and all the angels who attended Him each day
To come a simple Pauper for a debt He need not pay
For He was not the debtor neither did He ever lie
And He had never failed to keep His Law that He should die
But solely from the love of God He gave His all for men
To save us from the debt we owed for all our years of sin
But tell me do we ever stop to truly count the cost
Not just the pain He suffered when He died upon the cross
But years of lonely living with no true and honest friends
Until He stood alone to face what many thought the end
And even when He came to life from three days in the grave
And met the ones He loved the most He gave His life to save
He still bore on His body all the scars of sacrifice
That He will bear forever to remind us of the Price
That Love would pay for each of us before we even asked
Through Jesus Christ Who willingly took on this painful task
Because there was no other way to save us from our sins
To guaranty eternal life with Him that has no end
So friend today let's ponder what our Lord did choose to do
The pain and the rejection that He knew that He'd go through
And praise Him for His faithfulness up to the very end
That gave us hope and promise of forgiveness for our sins
And then lay on the altar all the little that we have
That He by grace might use it in His work for our behalf
To finish what He started for the saving of our souls
That He might gain the glory for His work that makes us whole
