The Legacy of Golgotha



When we stray
As oft times we do
Love’s guiding light
Is there to lead us through

Given these gifts
Forgiveness, mercy, and grace
A new Law, Love
Death and fear now replaced

Christ came, suffered, died and rose again
Recognize the cost
For all that was gained
That we may never be lost

The legacy of Golgotha
Proof that love conquers all
And through this sacrifice
We can rise after the fall





He is risen!  Rejoice!  The debt is long since paid.  Love, because this is the new law.  Be gracious and forgive, as you wish to be forgiven.

Love



The essential emotion
Key to eternity
Unshakable
Undefinable
Unmistakable

How independent and enslaving
The longing, yearning, and craving
Defying Law
Logic
Lust

It's pursuit is often tragic
Creates new rules
Breaks some
Destroys lives
Shapes them

Stealing focus
While lending clarity
Dichotomy
Dulcet
Dilemma

Not known to bow to reason
Death cannot contain it
Words fail to confine
Sweet
Terrible

Love
