When I Think of Jesus

LOVE, oh how unfathomable it is to consider it moved you into our midst as Immanuel.

DEATH eventually came to you as you purposed to lavish unspeakable depths of love upon us even in your final moments.

MERCY arose like quickened umption long before buried. And so, we became undeserved but beloved benefactors of forgiveness and kindness.

STRONG. How infinitely strong you are, you've always been! Creator of the universe with a mere word and yet He who gently comforts us in darkest of times

Like yours upon the CROSS. You let yourself be slaughtered that we may live freely and fully.

You returned to us through the RESURRECTION embodying within your very bones

LIFE.

Now NEWNESS arises within us, surging in our blood and DNA because it is mingled with yours.

What can we do except give you ALL AUTHORITY, the full authority that has always belonged to you but that you did not force upon us.

We rise up to give you CELEBRATION both now in who we are and who we'll become as we reign with you in Heaven.
