He Knows- Such Love Such Sacrifice

Upon a lone hillside
A shadowed garden lay
The Lord, here, walked that night
And knelt, for us, to pray

Our sins, heavy to bear
Went to Him all at once
How...? It is not clear
But, too, He knows our every wants

Too, He knows the struggle
Of being falsely accused
Yet He remained humble
And let all who would abuse

He accepted the sentence
To be crucified
And with our sin, to redeem
For each of us He died

The earth shook with a great quake 
And the temple veil was rent
The barrier to God did break
That one day each may be heaven sent

The effects of the Fall
Physical and spiritual death 
He paid the price for all
And for the repentant, He pays the debt

Such love, such sacrifice
He paid the highest price
That we may become clean
Through divine mercy seen
