An Anthem for the Undone
A divine anthem for the forlorn, the frail and the fallen from He who was undone first - permit these love-filled truths to wash over your soul and water your spirit. It is the Jesus of the Cross who explains His heart for you if you would choose to believe:
The depth of my love for you pierced my heart,
The value of your being raised me from the dead,
I have withheld nothing of myself from you, nor will I ever consider it.
In tears I ached with you,
In shame I shared your sadness,
I have withheld nothing of myself from you, nor will I ever consider it.
In travail of body I carried your troubles,
In your humiliation I have seen the wounds,
I have withheld nothing of myself from you, nor will I ever consider it.
I know your shattered spirit,
I see your shaken soul,
I have withheld nothing of myself from you, nor will I ever consider it.
I have clothed you in my mantle of grace,
I have enfolded my wings around you,
I have withheld nothing of myself from you, nor will I ever consider it.
I have not ceased being at your side,
Nor have I ceased to count your tears,
I have withheld nothing of myself from you, nor will I ever consider it.
I have never withheld myself, I am not withholding myself now and I will never withhold myself - WHY?
because - I love YOU and want YOU too much.
- Jesus the Christ
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
