Don’t ask me why He loved me so; I’ll never understand.
He picked me up and held me close with a gentle nail-scarred hand.
He suffered what was meant for me and after all I put Him through,
Told His Father I was “worth the nails“!
It’s amazing, but it’s true!
With crimson-colored mercy He washed away my shame.
Worthless and unworthy, a broken life He made brand new.
But before He changed a think, He loved me anyway!
It’s amazing, but it’s true!
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8
– adapted from “It’s Amazing, But It’s True,” by Anthony C. Baker
