Remember the Sweetness of the Savior's Love

Remember the sweetness 
of the Savior's love...
when he bled from the cross 
and forgave the good thief,
who regretted his sinful 
ways by feeling deep shame;
weren't we like him who went
astray and floated like a leaf?
Why was He called Emmanuel 
and live a life so briefly?

He could have preached 
hatred instead of kindness
and proclaim Himself king turning Israel 
against the mighty Romans...
that's why the envious Temple's Priests 
accused him of blasphemy;
Pilate had no choice but free Barabass 
as he washed his hands,   
His Crucifixion was arranged through 
Judas's betrayal for thirty silver coins.  

Remember the sweetness
of the Savior's love when he
called out to His father and asked
for their forgiveness;
and despite the long hours 
of agony and abuse,
He knew that His death had 
the power to redeem all sins...
who still doubts His resurrection 
which occurred after three days? 
 
The heavy stone blocking the tomb
suddenly rolled away around sunrise,
how bewildered were the Roman 
Centurions who witnessed that glorious
event being blinded by a dazzling 
light and deafened by its noise!
Later that evening Jesus appeared
to the apostles who were overcome by fright...  
believing that He had risen, but was
that enough to dispel Thomas's doubt?
