THIS MUCH

These scars in My hands
were made by love.
For so I gave Myself,
to die this death,
in love for you.

See these wounds so deep,
and in my side?
These, too, were made by love
when I was crucified;
for on the Cross I died,
in love for you.

My feet pierced,
were driven through,
with nails into the wood,
Each drop of blood,
so anguished drawn,
was spilled
in love for you.

The Father so loved
He dearly gave
His Only Son to save
those with love He loved utmost...
With outstretched hands
upon the Cross,
and there with wounded feet
Jesus cried, love now complete:
I love you this much,
and then He died.
