His Love Kept Him There

                                                      HIS LOVE KEPT HIM THERE

He could have come down from the cross he didn't have to stay

He could have called the angels to come to him that day

But he did the will of his father, a cross he chose to bear

My sins are what nailed him to the cross but his love is what kept him there

When Jesus came to the earth and walked among men

He showed so much compassion for people lost in sin

He carried out his father's plan to save those who were lost

The only way this could be done was his death upon a cross

Often times we forget just what he went through; the beatings and rejection all for me and you

We should long to do his will and make this our daily prayer

Let me show to those around me that love that kept you there - Amen
