God Himself
- To evil men I have abandoned and betrayed Him.
And I have placed on Him a crown of spiny thorns.
With a lance, I have thrust into His side,
And I have nailed to the wood the one who loves me.ITS GOD HIMSELF…
WHO HUNG HIS LIFE UPON A CROSS TO PROVE HIS LOVE,
ITS GOD HIMSELF…
WHO SHED HIS BLOOD THAT I RECEIVE THE LIFE HE GIVES ME.
ITS GOD HIMSELF AND HE ACCEPTED DEATH,
THE NAILS STRETCHING HIM BETWEEN HIS PUNCTURED HANDS.ITS GOD HIMSELF…
AND HE HAS SAVED ME FROM MY SIN AND FROM MY DYING.
ITS GOD HIMSELF… - Now to His Mother He has given me with love.
With love He kneels down to wash my aching feet,
and from the wounds of my sin He has cured me,
for long before my birth He knew me and has loved me. - For He has taught me how to follow Him and love Him.
An honored mission He has called me to unfold:
To be holy, He has made me an apostle,
that I announce Him with my life until the end.
