It Was Worth It

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24 ESV)

Bearing the unjust

Weight of sin

Terrible and horrible

He suffered alone

With the whole punishment

Of the world upon

Upon His shoulders

He groaned

He moaned

Endured

Persisted

And persisted

It was worth it

Because

By His stripes

And punishment

We are healed
