The Moment
The Moment
The moment when the man was chained
For things that he was falsely blamed
The moment when the crowd turned up
To free the one who was corrupt
The moment when they slashed his back
Like butchers with a lamb did hack
The moment when they placed the thorns
With wicked laughs and verbal scorns
The moment when he held the tree
With beaten eyes could barely see
The moment when he walked to death
No word was spoken from his breath
The moment when they nailed him to
The cross he bore for me and you
The moment when they mocked and stared
With very few that really cared
The moment when the ebbing pain
Brought forth forgiveness in his name
The moment when the sins were taken
As Father turned, he was forsaken
The moment when the guilty's plea
Would then be met by grace to free
The moment when it was complete
He breathed his last and stopped his beat
The moment when his body lay
The stone would soon be rolled away
The moment when he rose again
Defeating death and killing sin
The moment when I knew my sin
Was why the Lord did enter in
The moment when I saw his pain
To give his son that we might gain
The moment when he calls to me
To accept his grace and set me free
The moment when I trust in thee
He grants me life eternally
The moment when my greatest pleasure
To know that Jesus is my treasure
The moment when I look above
And serve Him with a heart of love
The moment when I pass away
Into a life where I can say,
Thank you Lord for making me,
Because your love does overflow
You knew my sin before my birth
But greater love then did you show
You sent me Christ to take my sin
And carry it to the grave
A plan you fashioned before time
A plan to free and save.
You did not have to send your son,
But now I see his face.
And all this thanks to your love for me
Through Jesus in his grace.
