what is it about my Saviour

i love the LORD because he 1st loved me.
Isaiah 61 is true of me. He gave me beauty for ashes.
a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.
Songs of praise healed my spirit.
I was broken but he put the pieces back together and made me new again.
Restored my innocence, removed my sins as far as the east is from the west.
I was heading for destruction but no one knew
Only the LORD saw me in the dark, my tears he wiped away.
He is my Saviour. A simple truth about the Son of God.

I love the LORD because he could have ruled the world but he chose to serve.
He chose to spend 30 something years in obscurity as a carpenter's son.
He did not seek fame or try to stand out of the crowd.
He chose obedience over power.
He chose to submit, to love unconditionally.

I love the LORD because he was so different from this world. He had a way of turning everything upside down with a simple act. He spoke to a Samaritan woman when he shouldn't have. He wept when he saw his friends suffering even tho he knew he would fill them with joy within moments. He paid attention to the unlovables of his world. And made fishermen famous. Obedience, submission, servanthood, and unconditional love. He didn't conform even to his world's image of him. He simply went about his business and completed his purpose.

Even as he was about to go through undescribable suffering, he spent his last moments of freedom praying for us. His disciples and all other believers. He prayed for me and you. His love the world had never seen before. He wasn't just an innocent man dying unjustly. He was the Son of God choosing to die for us. For me.
