BY HIMSELF PURGED OUR SINS
(A Communion Poem)
How Jesus spoke was noted by the Gospel writers carefully;
He had always chosen to speak truth tenderly and lovingly!
The last few words must be especially remembered with love;
“This is My body broken for you!” Words from heaven above!
“This is My blood shed for many for the remission of sins;”
How the heart must be moved! These words are sad and grim!
How could He deal with the wicked sins of all mankind?
He has to open our eyes or we will remain spiritually blind!
Our sins need to be purged so that our hearts may be purified;
Because of the guilt and penalty of our sins, Christ Jesus died!
He Himself must take upon His shoulders the pain and sorrow;
He has to purify us thoroughly or there will be no tomorrow!
It took none other than the Son of God to effectively purge our sins;
His hands and His feet had to be pierced that we may be cleansed within!
Our hearts must determine to walk closely with our precious Lord;
Then would His death not be in vain! We can come alive to God!
