Today Someone...You Alone

Today Someone praises God for sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for the sins of man.

I am set free, forgiven, redeemed through His precious blood.  Thank You Jesus!

"Behold ~ your King!" 

(John 19:14)

Alone...Jesus stood in the Hall of Judgment. 

Alone...there were no witnesses for the Defense...no concerned family or friends. 

The only voice was for the prosecution. 

And the jury? A howling mob bent on crucifixion.

As we see our Lord standing there, with His noble brow bleeding from the crown of thorns, the "royal" purple robe, draped over Him in mockery, bloodstained from the leaden whip...we see His Love...for He stood there alone...for you and for me.

It was alone the Savior prayed in dark Gethsemane;

Alone He drained the bitter cup and suffered there for me.

It was alone the Savior stood in Pilate's Judgment Hall;

    

Alone the crown of thorns He wore, forsaken thus by all.

Alone upon the cross He hung that others He might save;

Forsaken then by God and man, alone, His life He gave.

Can I reject such matchless love? Can I His claim disown?

I'll give my all in gratitude, and leave Him not alone.

Chorus:

Alone! Alone!! He bore it all alone!

He gave Himself to save His own,

He suffered, bled and died, Alone! Alone!

(Ben H. Price)

Beloved Lord Jesus, 

Your love for me as you stood alone, accused for my sin, brings me to my knees in repentance for all the selfish, thoughtless sinful deeds of my life. 

Thank You, my Savior and Lord, for I know I will never be left alone, forsaken by our God and Father ~ for You have paid it ALL! 

(From Joy in His Presence)

 

"You Alone"

Dear Lord,

You alone

Saw my sinful life,

You alone

Freed me from strife.

You alone!

You alone

Came from above,

You alone

Showed perfect love.

You alone!

You alone

On Calvary's tree,

You alone

Died there for me.

You alone!

You alone

Rose from the dead,

You alone

Banished sin and dread.

You alone!

You alone

Bought my salvation,

You alone

Freed every nation.

You alone!

You alone

Risen to Heaven,

You alone

My sins forgiven.

You alone!

You alone

I must repay,

You alone

With my thanks today.

You alone!

Amen.
