A Free Offering – v3

The sacrifice of Christ
the sentient being
knowing what He was doing
a free will offering
given on our behalf

Choosing to die
not being pushed
taking the cup
drinking of our sin
becoming the sacrifice

Donning the fleece
the unblemished lamb
the mantle upon Him
taking on our stain
our lives in His hand

Giving himself
Doing this freely
that we may live again
hope in Him alone
in the blood of the Lamb
