In Jesus' Name-Is All Forgiveness

JEHOVAH-GO'EL. The Lord is My Redeemer.



In Jesus' Name is All Forgiveness.
We did not know Him
We could not see Him
His ways were strange
His words were new and different
In our fear we hated Him
In our hate we nailed Him
But He forgave us.

In our ignorance we mocked Him
And with our apathy we crowned Him
But He forgave us.

As He died there on the cross,
We watched,. Some still fearing
Some still grieving,
Some doubting.
Some crying.
One acknowledged Him as The Son of God.
But all turned their back and walked away,
when He died.
But He forgave us.

Three days in the grave:
not asleep, nor awake,
fightig Satan in all His Ways.
He emerged from the tomb
Where His body was laid
Holding the keys
To death and the grave
And He forgave us.

He forgives us still.
His Name is Forgiveness
and He always will.

Come and see
the women said
There's no body in the tomb
Someone must have taken Him
in the night, we assume.
His Word had fallen
on ears that had not heard
Nor hearts that had been stirred.
We doubted, we cried, we searched
and we found
The Teacher, The Rabbi, The Master
on the grounds.
And He forgave us .

He forgives us still
For He knows our hearts
And He always will.

Judgment and Justice are His to decide
Fairness and equity balance in time
He writes His  laws with His finger
On tablets of stone, then hearts
The first was temporary
The second is permanent
With His blood He writes
Upon my heart
The Words I have come to know:
Written in Red for me to see
"I forgive all your iniquity."
And He forgave me.

A two-edged sword
Divides and separates
Families and friends
Parents and children
He cuts through wickedness,
Self-righteousness
As a searing blade
Through cold hearts.
His Mercy, His Truth
Emblazoned on my heart
Are bound round my neck
He has set me apart.
For He forgave me.

He forgives us still
For He knows our hearts
And He always will.


I did not know I was going to put this in verse, but there you have seen what God can do when all I have is my notes and my Bible, He multiplies the words x the ideas and brings forth a beautiful poem. In Jesus' Name there is power to create. He is JEHOVAH-BARA. The Lord is Creator.

How Great Thou Art, who forgives and forgives and forgives; time and again without number. He knows our failings, our doubts, our faults. And, yet, He loves us still. And in His great love, He forgives us.

This is grace in action. To show mercy and compassion. To not hold a grudge. To not speak against another who is made in God's image. To be an example to all who see and watch. To bring you and you and you and , yes, even you; you and you and especially you, to Himself. To embrace you, hold you in His arms, more than a hug, it is true forgiveness. The touch, the word, the grace that frees the unforgiven, the unloved, the lost, the lonely, the hurting, the hopeless, the despairing,  the least of these.

Your Grace Still Amazes Me by Steve Green

And as He died,
there on the cross,
the veil blue
was torn in two
from top to bottom
the thickness gave way
for the Son of God
had cleared the way.
No longer did the people
need go
to the Priest in the temple
for sin to atone.
One Man, this Man
Jesus the Christ
Became the way
to be near God.
His body the bread
His blood the wine
Was poured out for all
This one time.

Earth quake
Rock fall
Graves open
Saints rise
Seeing the Christ
the young man spoke
Truly, this was
The Son of God.
Never he heard
What Jesus had said
But knowing in his heart
That this man had bled
He believed
And Jesus forgave him.

He knows our hearts and He loves us still.
He will alwysy forgive us.
And He always will.
