Christ Tallied Up Poem by Gary James Smith

CHRIST TALLIED UP

Christ tallied up the cost of our sin
And took it to the Cross
His blood was the, sufficient Sacrifice
For there He became sin for us
God was highly pleased with this
In that, He raised Christ from the dead
Now any person who truly repents
Find God's blessings and favour...instead!

Christ counted the cost in the beginning
When God drew up Salvation's plan
He had every intent to obey His Father
No matter the onslaught from men
His life was lived for others praise God!
Showing love with such a trait of compassion
Still, He calls unto those who have trusted in Him
To live themselves in like manner and fashion...

There's never a day now that goes by
But I lend to it praise and thanksgiving
For the joy of my heart is my strength in the Lord
The awesomeness of His grace forgiving
For all of my transgressions were weighty indeed
Too much of a heavy burden to bear
And I found when I cast all of my cares upon Him
Praise God He became my sin-bearer!

Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
