GOD FOREKNEW, BUT YET HE STILL...

"See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did ever such love and sorrow meet?
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?"
- When I survey the wondrous cross (hymn)
God foreknew a painful death would come
That he would cry tears of blood as he awaits the time
When he would be scourged and hung on the cross
But yet he still came for our sins to be washed
God foreknew that scorn and shame awaits
From the ones he loves- the ones he’s trying to save
He’ll be humiliated and trampled, though he is God
But yet he still came to bear the weight of our faults
God foreknew that even after what he’s done
That some would deny him and continue their own paths
Some would turn to idols while others would turn to self
But yet he still came, pursuing that one sheep who's lost
God foreknew that after a thousand years from then
That we would still sin against him again and again
He saw the sins that we would still do
But yet he still came, whispering “you’re worth it. This is for you”
Love so profoundly deep, it seems...
Love so undeniably great, it must be...
Love would explain this mystery
Of why God foreknew, but yet he still came...
