I Remember When......
The old front porch was
A gathering
place for many things.
We'd gather round
Grandma's rocker,
We couldn't wait for her
to sing!
She sang those old sweet songs
About the
love of Jesus.
About His 'Amazing Grace'
She knew which song's pleased us!
She sang of how He took our place
On a
cross, on a hill far away!
She taught us with
the verses she sang.
I remember them to this
day!
After she sang till we were filled.
She
opened up God's word,
Her sweet voice began
to read,
And we were transferred,
Into another time, and another place,
We saw the old things pass away,
And a
new heaven and a new earth,
The dawning of a
brand new day.
We saw Jesus grow,
In wisdom and in
grace.
Saw Him teaching in the Temple,
Taking His destined place.
We saw Him walk on the water,
As He
came to them in the ship
Saw Peter step out
to meet Him,
And sink when his faith did
slip.
Followed Him to the garden,
As he
prepared to take our place.
We saw Him beat
so badly
They could not recognize his
face.
We walked up the hill to Calvary,
Watched Him stumble and fall on the
way
Under the heavy burden,
Of the cross
He'd hang on that day.
We watched as they drove the spikes
Into His precious Hands,
And stood the
cross upright.
To be the sacrifice God did
demand
Many tears we cried
As we realized our sin,
And knew the blood He shed
Cleansed every stain within.
We learned so much
At
Grandma's knee back then,
But best of all we learned
That Jesus died to pay for our
sin.

Scripture: Isaiah 53:11~12
He shall see of the travail of his soul,
and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore
will I divide him a portion with the
great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the
strong;
because he hath poured out his soul unto
death: and he was numbered with the
transgressors; and he bare the sin of many,
and made intercession for the
transgressors.
