A Place of Once and For All


Once and for all
The Father’s love 
He is the light in the darkness  Who took on flesh     
And took our place   
The weight of the world on his shoulder  
The weight of the world on his shoulder

I am overcome by these words tonight. Once and For ALL. On this day 2000 years ago, my Lord rose from the dead and conquered the grave. Death tried its hardest to hold HIM in the grave but it could not.

We believe our God is
We believe that He is Lord
We believe that He has saved us
From sin and death once and for all

Once my Jesus was brutally beaten and crucified on a cross. Once my Jesus breathed His last breath on earth. Once my Jesus was finished.

Once and for all Our debt is paid
There on the cross it is finished
The lamb of God
For us was slain
Up from the grave He is risen
Up from the grave He is risen

That one act, our Jesus slain on the cross, finished us. We are offered everlasting life because of his act of “Once and for All.” There is NOTHING you or I can do to deserve salvation. There is no good act we can do to break even to get to Heaven. That act on the cross solidified it ALL.
ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Jesus, Jesus
God from God
Light from Light
You are our salvation
Jesus, Jesus
God from God
Light from Light
Your Kingdom is forever
