The Father's Love


What can I do, but give my all to You?
You did not spare Your only Son His pain
But gave Him up to suffering and shame
You could not help Him
You had to turn away
And leave Him to bear it all alone,
Alone on that tree,
You did it all for me

What can I do, but give my all to You?
All that I am I lay down at Your feet
What did it cost You to see Him suffer so?
You could not help Him
You had to turn away
And leave Him to bear it all alone
Clothed in my sin,
You had to turn away
Until all the debt was paid
And You could look on Him in love again
And welcome Him home

The Father's Love

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all,
how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” 
Romans 8:32 NASB

Song Notes
It was just before Easter 2004. I felt called to pray. As I was praying, I thought about Mel Gibson’s new film, “The Passion of the Christ”. The pictures that I had seen from the film looked very graphic, very brutal, and I had decided that I did not want to see the film myself – I thought I would find it too upsetting.

But if I would find it too upsetting to watch the brutal torture and death of Jesus, how did His Father feel? How did He feel when He gave His only precious Son up to that barbaric treatment – when He saw His pain and the burden He had to bear – and could not help Him, because He was clothed in sin? He had to turn away and leave Him to go through it alone.

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Mark 15:34 NASB

I cried as I thought of the Father’s pain.

This is the extent of the Father’s love, that He should do this for me.

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?”
Romans 8:32 NASB

My Father is a generous God. He held nothing back. He gave His only Son, and all things with Him – so how can I not give Him everything in return? I want to get to that place where I can truly say “All that I am I lay down at Your feet”.

Thank you, Father, for Your most precious gift.                                             Sara Horn 2007
