hallelujah! what a savior!!

life can be really hard sometimes. there are things that are overwhelming, or just all-together sucky. but God is good. He's always there. He loves us little, crap-encrusted sinners more than anything in the world. He loves us so much that He knows the number of hairs on our heads. how amazing is that. He is an incredible God. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He saved us from ultimate, eternal damnation. He was crucified brutally on a cross made out of wood for US, us silly little humans who have screwed up so much. how fantastic is that? the fact that the Creator of the world would take on all the stuff we've done and die for it. you really have to wrap your mind around that. and it takes time, but what an amazing thought. amazing. "I am the Lord your God." He is our God! He loves us!! how exciting is that?

Man of Sorrows!  what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim. 
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed my pardon with his blood.
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless Lamb of God was he;
full atonement can it be? 
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

Lifted up was he to die;
"It is finished!" was his cry;
now in heaven exalted high. 
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!

When he comes, our glorious King,
all his ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah!  What a Savior!
