Remembering God’s Love For Us
Why Should He Love Me So by Crystal Lewis
Love sent my savior to die in my stead;
Why should He love me so?
Meekly to Calvary's cross He was led;
Why should He love me so?
Nails pierced His hands and His feet
for my sin;
Why should He love me so?
He suffered sore my salvation to win;
Why should He love me so?
O how He agonized there in my place;
Why should He love me so?
Nothing withholding my sin to efface;
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Savior to Calvary go?
Why should He love me so?
One
of the primary meanings of efface is to erase something. Ps 103:12 explains
that, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us.” That sounds like my sins of the past that God has
forgiven are for all practical purposes erased because the distance from east
to west is a long, long, long way away.
Praise God!
Thank
God Jesus “suffered sore” for my transgressions. As Isaiah 53:5 reminds us, “But he was
wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” I love Him because He suffered, agonized,
endured his hands and feet being pierced.
Thank God, although Jesus was aware of the great suffering that was just
ahead of Him, He was obedient to the will of the Father. Matthew 26:42 records
that “He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if
this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.” I wonder like Crystal Lewis, “Why Did He Love
Me So?”
