Why, Father?
Father, why did You chose Your own flesh and blood
To die on the cross for our lives?
Why couldn't You have chosen a goat or a ram?
Seems to me that would
have sufficed.
I guess it just took more than a ram
To cover the transgressions of men.
You had to give up the one thing You loved most,
As a ransom to cover
our sins.
Father, please forgive me for asking
About all of the why's and what fors.
We're not supposed to question Your judgment,
Because You're
Omnipotent; You know so much more.
I'm so sorry, Lord, that You had to give up
Your precious Son's life just for me
And I'd hate to think what would have transpired If
Your son had not died
on that tree.
We might all be condemned to a bottomless pit,
With no hope for Eternal Life,
If You had not given up Your most precious gift,
Your only Son, for our
sacrifice.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
That whosever
believeth in Him would not perish, but, have everlasting life." John 3:16
