Ten Thousand Angels

Thinking about Easter tomorrow and our Saviour being born to die for me is amazing to me. The suffering he willingly went through is in comprehensible. To know He could have called ten thousand angels and ended it all, but that wasn't His Father's plan. So He died alone, for you and me.

Matthew 26:53

"Thinkest thou that I cannot pray to my Father,

and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"

They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed;

They led Him thro' the streets in shame.

They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin;

They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."

Refrain

He could have called ten thousand angels

To destroy the world and set Him free

He could have called ten thousand angels

But He died alone, for you and me.

Upon His precious head they placed a crown of thorns;

They laughed and said, "Behold the King!"

They struck Him and they cursed Him and mocked His holy name

All alone He suffered everything.

Refrain

When they nailed Him to the cross, His mother stood nearby,

He said, "Woman, behold thy son!"

He cried, "I thirst for water," but they gave Him none to drink

Then the sinful work of man was don.

Refrain

To the howling mob He yielded; He did not for mercy cry.

The cross of shame He took alone.

And when He cried, "It's finished," He gave Himself to die;

Salvation's wondrous plan was done.

Refrain

He could have called ten thousand angels

To destroy the world and set Him free

He could have called ten thousand angels

But He died alone, for you and me.

Praise the Lord for salvation's plan. Do you know him as your Savior? If not, make this the best Easter ever and accept Him today!!
