Sieg im Tod

This week was rather taxing on my mental health, but by the grace of God, I have survived. The parade yesterday on Maundy Thursday wasn't a disaster as I thought it would be. The food they gave after the parade wasn't bad. I had 2 cups of char because I only slept 2 hours the night before.

But that's not the point of the post now.

Today is Good Friday, the death anniversary of our Good Lord.

He died in the most horrid and humiliating way possible.

He was alone in His suffering.

Herzliebster Jesu/Ah, Holy Jesus - Johann Heermann

Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen,
Daß man ein solch scharf Urteil hat gesprochen?
Was ist die Schuld? In was für Missetaten
Bist du geraten?


Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended,
That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by Thine own rejected,
O most afflicted.


When He died, we could be free again, no longer seperated from God.

Victory in Death.

His love is beyond compare.

O Love Divine - Charles Wesley

O Love divine, what hast thou done!
The immortal God hath died for me!
The Father’s co-eternal Son
Bore all my sins upon the tree.
Th’immortal God for me hath died:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified!

Is crucified for me and you,
To bring us rebels back to God.
Believe, believe the record true,
Ye all are bought with Jesus’ blood.
Pardon for all flows from His side:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified!

Behold and love, ye that pass by,
The bleeding Prince of life and peace!
Come, sinners, see your Savior die,
And say, “Was ever grief like His?”
Come, feel with me His blood applied:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified!

Then let us sit beneath His cross,
And gladly catch the healing stream:
All things for Him account but loss,
And give up all our hearts to Him:
Of nothing think or speak beside,
My Lord, my Love, is crucified!
