"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" (Song of Solomon 8:7). "Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto Him, Let Him be crucified" (Matthew 27:22).
Many waters could not quench
The fire of God's love,
Nor could the floods of hatred drench
God's zeal from above.
Love burned brightly on the cross,
Yet also it burned holy.
To save us from eternal loss
He paid our ransom fully.
"What then shall I do with Christ?"
This was Pilate's question.
How sad that, by the mob enticed,
He followed their suggestion!
Do not let the crowd decree
The welfare of your soul,
Nor where you'll spend eternity,
When judgment takes its toll!
For quenchless judgment shall remain
For those rejecting Christ,
Who will, like Pilate, thus disdain
The Savior sacrificed.
