We sang a beautiful song today at Orwell Bible Church called, “Ah, Lord Jesus” by Johann Heermann (1630). As you can imagine, the language is a bit archaic but the message still touched my heart. I am always happy to be reminded of Jesus’ love for me despite my unwillingness to come to him on my own. My favorite verses were:
Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee
‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee
I crucified theeLo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered
The slave hath sinned and the Son hath suffered
For man’s atonement while he nothing heeded
God interceded
Here is a video of a congregation singing the song:
