How Deep?

The Crucifixion, by Matthias Grunewald c. 1510-1515

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross
My guilt upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powr's, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

A Palm Sunday Project

From branch to cross in 30 seconds flat.  Sunday is Palm Sunday, one of my favourites.  I have ordered the palm branches and am ready to go.  I thought I would try my hand at making palm crosses to give out on Sunday.  I found a website that gives step by step instructions.  They were different then the ones a few people showed me today.  These are super easy to make and quite sturdy.  I was able to make 80 using only 2 branches and less than 2 hours of my time.  Not too shabby!

"Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!"
