THE UNSPEAKABLE GIFT<\/p>\n

No matter how hard you try,
\nAnd regardless of what you do,
\nYou can never pay the price,
\nOf what Lord Jesus did for you.<\/p>\n

You see, the ransom was beyond,
\nWhat could be paid by any man,
\nBut therein lies the very beauty,
\nBecause God already had a plan.<\/p>\n

\nWas a love that was truly great,
\nAnd it was for that very reason,
\nJesus suffered without the Gate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
