From Psalm 118:1: “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!”
Christ shall endure forever
Witnessing His steadfast love
Forgiveness heals brokenness
Righteousness flows from above
Christ journeys to Calvary
Bringing man’s darkness with Him
Sin’s valley of death’s shadow
Light waiting at heaven’s rim
Christ becomes faith’s cornerstone
Yielding to Father’s design
Truth waiting at Roman cross
Sacred blood pays every fine
Christ foils enemy’s insults
Shedding eternity’s wrath
Love borne, no matter its cost
Promised grace reveals faith’s path
Christ builds heaven’s trusted bridge
Rising from now empty tomb
Passion’s flames light mercy’s quest
Brought forth into Father’s room
From Psalm 118:19: “Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.”

These two lines are very effective in conveying Christ’s sacrifice: “Christ builds heaven’s trusted bridge
Rising from now empty tomb”
