The Proposal

so this guy proposed to me

crazy thing is he didn't get on one knee 

no he did it by hanging on a tree 

suffering for hours just so we could share eternity 

I wasn't thinking of him yet he thought of me 

took three nails, pierced side & crown of thorns for me 

and though he was royalty 

he came off his throne for a hill at Calvary 

this guy had so much love for me, he took my ashes and made beauty

though he knew my secrets he didn't shatter me

nor take my shame and scatter me 

no, he shed blood so I wouldn't become a casualty 

I was in an abusive relationship with sin but he rescued me 

he wanted me to be apart of the family 

he fulfilled every word of prophecy 

so in front of His father he said, "marry me."
