In weakness He remembered us
As He carved each wooden beam
How we struggled in our frailty
To build our lifelong dreams
This Carpenter from Galilee
In a wilderness with stones
Was touched with our infirmities
By a hunger to His bones
When He took the cross and carried it
With a strength we cannot know
He laid down His rights and privileges
And His blood began to flow
But on the day the stone rolled back
And His grave was opened wide
We looked inside to see that we
By His weakness received life
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 NKJV

"Oh, what’s the use?” I ask God while I'm praying Since you know the way That things must be Then in quiet I listen For an answer from The one who gave Himself for me
For once He prayed till sweat Flowed like blood drops Through the night, with sorrows He was tossed Then He surrendered all that He had wished for Our lives to save And for our sin’s full cost
And then as dawn Had still not fully wakened On the third day Before the sun was bright The tomb was opened So we could see inside that He is alive And calls us to His side!

But as I rav'd and grew more fierce and wilde - At every word, Me thoughts I heard one calling, Child! - And I reply'd, My Lord. George Herbert - excerpt from The Collar
A star burns bright a billion years
Before its rays grow dim
A sparrow lives just two or three
And yet God cares for him
But long before the dawn of time
God’s candle lit the night
And came for us at Bethlehem
When shepherds, saw His light
Now to our hiding place He comes
At doors that we’ve kept locked
And offers light for our dark home
If we will open at His knockLook! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation 3:20 NLT
