He Took The Rap

 (Based on: Galatians 3:13, I Peter 2:24)

We know not that kind of Love
Which drove our Lord to die-
When He was nailed upon a tree,
After they mocked and tried.
His Kingdom was left behind
So He could free our souls...
When He took all pain and sin
Up on that lonely knoll.
The Father allowed for His shame,
Watching from above;
Jesus took the rap that day-
Then "wrapped" us in His LOVE!
