Blest Substitute

 •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 6
 
The Father sent the Son
A ruined world to save;
Man meted to the sinless One
The cross—the grave.

Blest Substitute from God,
Wrath's awful cup He drained:
Laid down His life, and e'en the tomb's
Reproach sustained.

The new and living way
Stands open now to heaven;
There, where the blood is seen alway,
God's gift is given.

The river of His grace,
Through righteousness supplied,
Is flowing o'er the barren place
Where Jesus died.
Grace brings the sinner and God together. Therefore, there is nothing holier than grace.
“THIS IS HIS
COMMANDMENT,
THAT WE SHOULD
BELIEVE ON THE NAME
OF HIS SON
JESUS CHRIST.”
“DOST THOU
BELIEVE
ON THE SON
OF GOD?”
