I am sure Father remembers how proud
He was of You when John baptized you that day;
The Holy Spirit hovering over you
"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased",
You heard your Father say.

Watching your perfect obedience doing always
those things, dear Father, that pleased you;
with tender mercies, patience, gentleness,
long~suffering, kindness, sweet grace
and compassion, too!

How Father must have wept an ocean
of tears seeing sufferings you endured
to complete His plan for redemption of man;
feeling the rejections You felt, betrayal,
scourgings, painful spikes in feet and hands!

Those last words you uttered, "It is finished",
when upon the rugg'd cross you were crucified;
the meaning of which only Father understood,
OH, how his broken heart must have
grieved and cried!

All of Heaven must have joined in
exultations ~ hallelu yahs when
up from the tomb you arose;
triumphant o'er death, praise You Lord,
our sin~debt paid, HEAVEN KNOWS!

Because of You, precious Jesus, HEAVEN KNOWS
the joyous freedom and liberty
Salvation brings; HEAVEN KNOWS
just why YOU are our Majesty, Lord of Lords,
our glorious King of kings!

PRAISE YOU FOREVERMORE, LORD JESUS!

YOU ARE RISEN, INDEED!
