Oh to think of God’s saving grace!
To find myself in light with sins erased! (or “light drenched grace”)

once my status full of abase
my mind did God consider debase
but came a bloody, scarred and ridiculed face
like one abused by a daunting mace
a man with sorrows and afflictions -this the preface
this man to save the human race?
this man to crack the unsolvable case?

a hopeless plot soon to erase
three days gone- and God to praise!
the Son raised and ascended to His place
the truth a soul must warmly embrace

for it is no longer I but Christ as the base
upon which God set the runner’s pace
for a runner competes to win the race
less he be gone and without a trace
