Amazing love

Sin. Why did Adam and Eve take the fruit of knowledge? Because it was promised to them as nice by the serpent. A lie laced with good words to cloth an evil plot. That is just what sin is. Seems good, feels good, drives us to follow the wrong directions in life by keeping us laced with false promises and undying satisfactions, drives to go to the extreme and gives us nothing back but a chain of burden and stains our very souls with dirt of evil. The consequences of sin is shame, condemnation. It never ends in beauty. What is beautiful is the love of God that comes and covers all these with calvary. And what makes it even beautiful is because this love comes through the sacrifice of Christ upon that cross, where He suffered physical and spiritual pain so that we can be free. He who can take our soul that is soaked with sins and evilness and turn it as white as snow and gives us a chance of repentance. Such love is crazy love. Love beyond imagination. Agape love, truly love at its highest form. Love that compels a change of heart, love that convicts to repentance, love that drives to set us free from the chains and bondage of sin. "You can never know the true depth of God's love until you know the true depths of your sins"

Psalm 51
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
    according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
    blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
    and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
    and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
    and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
    you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
    wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
    let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
    and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
    or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
    and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
    so that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
    you who are God my Savior,
    and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, Lord,
    and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
    you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart
    you, God, will not despise.
18 May it please you to prosper Zion,
    to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
    in burnt offerings offered whole;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.

"Calvary"

The Savior alone carried the cross
For all of my debts, He paid the cost
Salvation complete now forever I'm free
Calvary covers it all

Calvary covers it all
My sin and shame, don't count anymore
All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul
Calvary covers it all

No power on Earth
Not even the grave
Could separate us from mercy and grace 
He is faithful to save, oh His blood never fails
Calvary covers it all

Calvary covers it all
My sin and shame, don't count anymore
All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul
Calvary covers it all

No one but Jesus
Can make us pure as snow
We stand in Your freedom
Calvary covers it all

Calvary covers it all
My sin and shame, don't count anymore
All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul
Calvary covers it all

All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul
Calvary covers it all
