Jesus
Think of how Jesus must have felt dying on the cross. All of the love in the world did not bring Him down until He had undergone the pain and punishment that He was born for. He had not deserved it and in the end, it was only the Father's love that resurrected Him. He had to go, He had to suffer the insults and disrespect and taunts. He was spit at and reviled, people hit Him and made false accusations against Him, turned their backs on Him and called Him names. As He hung there on the cross, His final thoughts were of others, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do."

How wide is Your love
That You would stretch Your arms
And go around the world
And why for me would a Savior's cry be heard
I don't know
Why You went where I was meant to go
I don't know
Why You love me so
Those were my nails
That was my crown
That pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my thorns
Those were my scorns
Those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
After You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame
On my cross
How deep is Your grace
That you could see my need
And chose to take my place
And then for me, these words I'd hear You say
Father no
Forgive them for they know not what they do
I will go
Because I love them so
