A KING'S RANSOM

A KING’S RANSOM 

Heaven is a holy place; 

Sinners are banned from there. 

Only one could pay the price for our sins, 

Though the price was very unfair. 

Jesus Christ, both God and man, 

Came to Earth to make a way. 

He was scorned, abused and tempted, 

But sinless He would stay. 

Jesus knew what His future held, 

Humiliation and great pain, 

To die was His reason for coming to Earth; 

Love from us was His only gain. 

When that day had finally come, 

And prophecies were fulfilled, 

Jesus paid a King’s ransom, 

When on the cross He was killed. 

Heaven’s gates are now open, 

To those who do God’s will, 

Whose hearts are bonded to His, 

And through trials love Him still.
