Barrett penned how much she loved Browning;
Some other humans may have loved e’en more,
But Jesus got nailed instead of crowning,
When God came down, mankind’s life to restore!
Man condemned to death, everlasting night;
Just one thing—God’s death—all’s death could
amend;
Most gods would choose to remain out of sight,
In glory, ruling, safe from evil men!
Jesus chose to give His life for mankind;
As a man He died, but as Christ arose;
Gave us all a chance, long new life to find;
Bringing the grave’s dominion to a close!
I must reciprocate a love that great,
And believe in Jesus to seal my fate!
Promise Made: John 15:13 (Jesus speaks)—
“ ‘Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.’ “ (NIV)
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
