"For thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered My face.... The reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon Me.... Thou hast known My reproach.... Reproach hath broken My heart, and I am full of heaviness" (Psalm 69:7,9,18-20). "The Son of God... loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
How heavy was my Savior's load
Who bore reproaches for my sake,
And thus redemption was bestowed,
And my unrighteousness did take.
O Heart of heaviness for me!
O broken Heart to heal mine!
Lord, now I worship as I see,
The selfless love in Your resign.
Lord, let me linger by Your cross,
Though You're now enthroned above,
To think of my eternal loss,
Had You not come down in love!
