Satisfied Savior

"By mercy and truth iniquity is purged" (Proverbs 16:6).  "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all... He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities" (Isaiah 53:6-11).  "The love of Christ... passeth knowledge" (Ephesians 3:19). 

Iniquity is purged as dross,

And all its debt is satisfied

By Christ our Savior on the cross

Who paid our ransom when He died. 

All we like sheep had gone astray;

We had no hope apart from Christ!

Salvation had no other way  

Unless our Lord was sacrificed! 

He saw the anguish of His soul

Which satisfied His law's demands. 

His marks of love are wonderful:    

Behold our Savior's feet and hands! 

It passes what we comprehend,

To know You're satisfied, O Savior,

To search Your love that has no end,  

And contemplate Your boundless favor!
