GIVE HIM PRAISE

"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."

Luke 23:33, 34
King James Version

Sarah Graham wrote a beautiful hymn. The name of the hymn is "It Was for Me". I am so thankful that Jesus loves us so much He died for our sins.

"On the cross of Calvary, Jesus died for you and me; There he shed his precious blood, That from sin we might be free. O the cleansing stream does flow, And it washes white as snow! It was for me that Jesus died On the cross of Calvary."

You might wonder why I include hymns in my devotions. It is because the Bible tells us to sing praises to our precious Saviour for Who He is and for what He has done for us. "Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing." Psalms 100:2

Thank You, Jesus, for everything. I love You and look forward to the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You.
