It was a day like any other one
But somebody knew
That heaven had a miraculous plan
For me and for you.
It was so incredible
So divine
A plan to rescue
All of mankind
From the ravages of sin
That keeps them bound.
Like lost sheep they wander
Until being found..
.
.
Bound to an eternity
From the presence of God
To a place full of weeping
And gnashing and woe
A place our Heavenly father desires
That no one should go.
.
.
The plan was simple
Yet expensive in cost
To send Jesus, His son
To save all
Who are
And were lost.
To offer himself
As a sacrifice for all
By dying as a ransom
This fate he would befall.
.
.
It wouldn’t be easy
It would be a painful slow death
Lashed forty times
And nailed to a cross.
Despised and rejected
Insulted by man
Who would cry out
King of the Jews?
Save yourself –
If you can!
.
.
Hung between two thieves
On that cross
Insults were shouted
By those truly lost.
But out of his mouth
Came a loud love filled cry
Father forgive them,
For them do I die.
.
..
The veil tore in two
As he gave his last breath
And tombs were opened
As he conquered death.
The solider who had stood there
And thrust a spear
In his side
Said
Truly this was the son of God
Who has died!!
.
..
He was laid in a tomb
Freshly cut in the stone
And embalmed with fresh mixture
Of myrrh and aloes .
They laid him in linen
In that cold place
As was a custom for Jews
At that given time
It was all part of reason
And a terrible crime
.
.
.
And now Satan was in for
A tremendous great shock
Cos death couldn’t hold Jesus
Entombed in that rock.
Satan’s plan for victory
Went west pretty quick
As Jesus was stronger
Than his evil trick.
.
.
Sin had no power
No strength against him
The mighty Son of God
Our risen conquering King.
When Jesus arose
Up from the grave
Heaven rejoiced
And the Father forgave
Every sin that mankind ever knew
Past present future
Conquered forever
For me and for you.
.
.
So no more do we need
To be prisoner to its power
We can be victorious
With Christ every hour.
By accepting with a thankful heart
Of all he has done
Setting us free
That’s the eternal
Love of the Son.
.
.
All heaven knew
This was God´s amazing plan
Salvation through Jesus
The true Son of God
The true Son of Man.

The many waves between us
separation from our shores
I have a special feeling
that I want to share:
The miles that separate us
cant separate our love
the love we've shared so long
I am sure will never die.
Our hearts will keep it precious
as precious as a diamond that glows,
like that precious diamond
the value no-one knows.
Although we miss each other
our thoughts are always shared
and the love will keep on shining
as long as we both still care.
