Passion Portrayed

Read:  Psalm 140 / Proverbs 26 / Song 8 /Luke 13 

Psalm 140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Proverbs 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
Luke 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Behold the passion Christ portrayed,
Who fought the battle in our place! 
Behold the curse upon Him laid
He bore to thus extend His grace! 

The waters could not quench His love
When billows crashed upon Him then.
That He might gather us above,
He rescued us, as would a hen.
