That He Died – v2

So much of the Gospels is centered on Christ’s final week

the last days of Christ’s walk upon this earth

The days more important than anything before.

That Christ died, taking on our sin

suffering the pain, the shame

setting us free, making us clean.

Christ’s sorrows, the King brought low for us;

Love surpassing our understanding

such was the importance of that week.

Up into heaven, on the third day Christ rose

but the stain of our sin, our names engraved;

Remaining on the flesh of our Savior

in this age and the next.
