Into this world Jesus came <br />As mere flesh and bone <br />He came for our sins to atone <br /> <br />This babe, this glorious babe so pure <br />Came and suffered the punishment <br />As he died for mankind’s sin <br />Yes much grief and pain did he <br />Our Lord “Jesus” endure <br /> <br />What a price to pay for mankind whom <br />His genuine love we did not deserve <br />Yet through his righteousness <br />And by spilling his precious blood <br />He washed away our sins-like <br />Unto a great flood! <br /> <br />By dieing that awful day our sins were washed <br />Away with that first dropp of blood <br />He left with us his promise to arise again <br />His thirst was not quenched as the blood ran freely <br />Down his skin <br /> <br />Without Jesus’ birth and death upon Calvary <br />We would have been destroyed never to be <br />Remembered again <br />Then there would have been no <br />Way to cover our multitude of sin <br /> <br />He knew his destiny <br />Yet for you and I he still chose to die <br />He loved us so much he wanted to give <br />Us the chance of eternal life <br />With him most high <br />©Copyright 1999 Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-knew-his-destiny/
