The scene in heaven
in God’s holy courts
water flowing
showering down on us

Tears of Grace
in our Savior’s suffering
the pain of our Father
in putting the Son to death

Letting the evil
the hands of men upon him
nailing him to the cross
the lamb upon the tree

Tears of Grace
pouring out richly
loving us enough
to sacrifice for all mankind
though we are yet full of sin.

Genesis 22:1-19
Abraham faithful in sacrificing
his first born son Isaac,
God providing substitute lamb;
Christ becoming the sacrificial lamb
with no substitution;
the pain of the Father on Good Friday
when his son died for us.

Christ was the one priest able to make
one sacrifice for all time

who are no more

Garden of Gethsemane
