TAKE A LOOK......A GOOD LONG LOOK

IT is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us!






TAKE A LOOK---TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK




There’s a man
Out there on the hill
With something on his back
Walking, struggling
Trying to move along


He was
Made to do this
By a man
By the name of Pilate
Because
He fell out of favor
With the people


But he picked up the cross
Willingly
And moved right along


He fell once, He fell twice
And even a third time
But he kept getting back up
The people all knew
It was wrong


Take a look
At this man
Take a good long look


The people of his day
Did not want
To confront their sins
The same as me and you today


They keep---we keep
Living out of coldness
Living out of ingratitude
Living out of selfishness
Denying the needs of one another


Along the way
On his walk with the cross
He met his Mother
Along the way
He wept for the women of Jerusalem---
And the people of his day


Take a look
Take a very long good look


He knew
That these sins
Had to be confronted


He knew
That these sins
Had to be carried
Had to be put away


Keep looking
See that cross
That cross that he is carrying
It is the perfect definition of his love
For you and for me


The greatest love, he once said,
“Is to lay down one’s life
For his friends”


He is stripped
Take a look


He is crucified
Take a very long look


He dies
And is put in the tomb
Keep on looking


His carrying of the cross
Is the answer to ALL of our needs


His perfect compassion
His perfect love


Jesus
The Lamb of God
Jesus
The perfect life
Jesus
The perfect love


Hanging out there in the tree
For you and for me


Take a look
TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK
