A Good Friday Meditation (By Grace Ragappa)

In my journey back in my home country, its been very enriching to meet people from different backgrounds and age groups yet like minded. I was very blessed this good friday by a meditation by a friend of mine and pray it will bless you too..

1. A precious Life was snuffed out at Golgotha;
Too heinous for human expression, unmatched in history;
Nature and true hearts plunged into depths of sorrow;
Heaven alone, with all its hosts,gazed down in jubilance.

2.Hades hung its head in shame that Friday
Over the Christ writhing in agony on the Cross,
The Lion of Judah,so say the prophets of Him,
Momentarily donning the garb of a lamb.

3. The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
In the fiercest of battles,against the most diabolical foe,
Jesus let His crimson blood be drawn out
So man's robe may be washed as white as snow.

4 For the life of the flesh is in the blood;
His untainted blood flowed till all man's scourges
Could be blotted out from the Book of the Living;
Forever reversing the destiny of mankind.

5. That blood-blotched Friday turned to be Heaven's delight,
For the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world
Was an action plan of the mighty Maker by design,
So that Evil may be changed to Good in Divine Exchange.
