Consider
the Lord Jesus Christ:
His
life was laid down for the cursed. Behold Him for us sacrificed,
Exchanging His Best for our worst!
Consider
the reasons He came:
For
seeking and saving the lost, For taking away sin and shame,
And giving Himself for the cost.
Consider
His wonderful grace:
The
curse that we earned had a cause! He willingly died in the place
Of those who had broken His laws!
Consider
His heart’s lamentation
As
for His tormentors He cries! The day of the Lord’s visitation
Was hidden from sin-blinded eyes.
Consider
the cost of our peace:
It
was for this cause that Christ died, And thus He secured our release
And rendered the curse satisfied.
O
Lord, we’ve considered Your love
As
You contemplated our loss: You left heaven’s glory above
To purchase our peace on the cross!
O
Lord, as we think of the curse
Demanding
the payment of wrath, Our prospects could not have been worse
Apart from Your one saving path!
We
thank You, O Lord, our Defender,
For
love which redemption has proved And judgments by which You now render
As causeless the curse You removed!
