Apologies to Is 53
Soul Snack 9/68 ... Apologies to Is 53
With a heart of mystified wonder I thankyou Jesus that:
- you bore my weaknesses,
- you were burdened by my sorrows,
- you were pierced and crushed for my sins,
- you willingly received my punishment,
- in your wounds alone I am healed,
- silently (unjustly) you took my just dues,
- your utter innocence did not hinder your giving,
- you offered yourself for my unshakeable guilt and
- His will alone found prosperity at your pierced hands.
How unknowably deep is your devotion - how unknowably great is my debt. Amen
