Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
’Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
’Tis the long expected prophet,
David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;
Proofs I see sufficient of it:
’Tis a true and faithful Word.
Here we have a firm foundation,
Here the refuge of the lost.
Christ the Rock of our salvation,
Christ the Name of which we boast.
Lamb of God for sinners wounded!
Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Him their hope have built.
I’ve started a new tradition at our house for Good Friday, making hot cross buns. Appropriate and delicious but they take for ever to prepare!
A blessed Good Friday to you all!
>Maybe Good Friday, because, if it were not for this Friday, Jesus couldn't have risen on the third day and where would that leave us now. Just a thought.
