2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Before the world was created -- before Adam was formed --- before you and I were conceived, God called us with a holy calling. His purpose and grace was extended to us through Christ Jesus.
It was His grace that loved us, sought us, called us, saved us, keeps us and will take us home to Heaven. Thank you, Lord Jesus for suffering on the cross for my salvation.
A look of love was on His face, and thorns were on His head.
Blood was on His scarlet robe; it was stand a crimson red.
Though His eyes were on the crowd that day, He looked ahead in time.
For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.
For He knew me, yet He loved me, He whose glory makes the heavens shine.
I’m so unworthy of such mercy. When He was on the cross, I was on His mind.
