The Grace in Grace

I admire how some people could express themselves with words that flow and understandable. Maybe, it's all about me wanting to impress people with my blogging. Reminder to myself again, I blog to leave a memory, so that in near future I can review what I have gone through. Yeah, that's my purpose of blogging :)

"Why" By: Nicole Nordeman

We rode into town the other day
Just me and my daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man that my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said daddy why are they screaming
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts him more then he shows
Daddy please can't you do something?
He looks as though he's gonna cry
You said he was stronger then all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why?
Why does everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said father why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my clothes?
This crown of thorns hurts me more then it shows
Father please can't you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry's
I thought I could handle a cross of this size
Father remind me why?
Why does everyone want me to die?
When will I understand why?

My precious sonI hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own
Jesus this hurts me much more then you know
But this dark hour
I must do nothing
Though I've heard your unbearable cries
The power in your blood
Destroys all of the lies
Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies
Look there below
See the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell you why
She is why you must die

Just a few days ago, Zeke, shared this song with me. It's even nice of him to show me the lyrics of the song. When I first heard it over the desktop's speaker, couldn't figure out what this songs means. The second time I heard it was from my MP3. Tears were rolling when I heard this song playing through my MP3. It srtike me, "God was hurt, and so was Jesus."

It always seems like I'm getting hurt or people around me was. I never thought that Jesus and even God was. Maybe it did once crossed my mind, but that didn't really matter until this song came about. I was just trying to imagine what it will be like for God to watch Jesus dying on the cross from Heaven and witnessing all that the enermies has done to His precious Son. Certainly it couldn't be a very nice feeling. If it's God will that Jesus don't have to take the cup; I'm sure Jesus won't want to suffer the way He had gone through. Who would? But Jesus was being obedience by fulfilling God's will and purpose.

With the Da Vinci code and gospel of judas getting popular, Jesus is coming soon too. God, let the heart of your children be frim and their faith be strong.
