*The Course of My Redemption.*
He bore the stripes upon His back,
the weight of my redemption.
The heavy cross stood with the sneering sinner at His left.
A crown of thorns pressed upon His head,
and mingled love and sorrow flowed down like crimson streams.
Tears of anguish and the cry of forsakenness,
βFather, why have You forsaken Me?β
My pardon demanded His blood;
my shame compelled Him to embrace even greater shame
upon that rugged, ancient cross.
The course of my redemption was heavy,
yet He carried it to the end.
He thirsted and was given bitter liquid,
yet that bitter flow has become a river of life within me.
