A Beautiful Exchange

You were near, Though I was distant. Disillusioned I was, lost and insecure. Still mercy fought for my attention. You were waiting at the door. Then I let you in. Trading your life for my offenses, for my redemption. You carried all the blame. Breaking the curse of our condition. Perfection took our place. When only love could make a way. You gave your life in a beautiful exchange. My burden erased. My life forgiven. There is nothing that could take this love away, and my only desire and sole ambition is to love you just the same. When only love could break these chains. You gave your life in a beautiful exchange. Holy are you God, Holy is your name. With everything I’ve got, my heart will sing how I love you.
