I Think Of Jesus

I think of Jesus with hope in my heart,
Oh how He loves you and me,
He knew He came to die and then impart,
Everlasting life to be.

Did you know He suffered great drops of blood,
In the Garden while praying,
He knew the blasphemous mire would soon flood,
With Judas’ kiss betraying.

The agonies before Him so ghastly,
An angel strengthened Jesus,
The hour at hand, He drank ’that cup’ lastly,
The Father’s Son redeemed us.

He tells His life was come to sacrifice,
Crucified between two thieves,
"Today, with Me you’ll be in Paradise,"
Yet, only one thief believes.

With Jesus our new existence began,
Resurrection life’s for us,
Our Lord gave His life as the Son of Man,
So loved, I think of Jesus.
