Psalm 181 of Psalms of Steel

Psalm 181

Oh give thanks to the Lord for His wonderful salvation.

For it was His love, that motivated Him to send Jesus Christ.

The Lord had a divine will that needed to be fulfilled.

Jesus was obedient to that divine will and purpose.

Jesus hung on a cross so we could have eternal and abundant life.

Jesus did not hang on that cross because of He was friendless.

He could have called a legion to come and rescue Him.

Jesus was not weak when He hung on that cross.

He chose the time and place of His death.

He said it is finished when the work of redemption was finished.

So what was it that kept Jesus on that old rugged cross?

That cross stained with blood so divine and powerful.

It was our sins and their power over our lives.

Jesus knew that only His death could set us free from sin.

Death, hell and the grave could only be defeated by His sacrifice.

Jesus stayed on that cross until it was finished because of love.

What love, what great love Jesus had for us that He gave all.

For God so love the world that He gave us Jesus.

Jesus was resigned and obedient to the divine will.

It was God’s will and plan that we would be saved and Jesus did this for us.

Jesus submitted Himself to the will of the Father.

He was loyal to the divine purpose and plan.

Praise the Lord for His broken body and shed blood.

We thank Him for His death burial and resurrection. 

Without them we would be lost.  Thank you for your love O God.
