They say true love's the great weapon
No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. John 15:13
To win the war cause by pain
And Jesus cried out again with a loud [agonized] voice, and gave up His spirit [voluntarily, sovereignly dismissing and releasing His spirit from His body in submission to His Father’s plan]. Matthew 27:50
But ever diamond has imperfections
since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23
But my love's too pure to watch it chip away
and are being justified declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life as a gift by His precious, undeserved grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, Romans 3:24
Nothing real can be threatened
You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! Mark 6:6
True love breathes salvation back into me
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,
And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
with every tear came redemption
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, [j]“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46
and my torturer became a remedy
And [at once] the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was [l]torn in two from top to bottom; Matthew 27:51
I know this is an interesting concept, intertwining these Beyonce lyrics with Bible verses but when I looked at the lyrics written down, I saw what Jesus did for me in them.
I saw that love was big enough to win.
I saw that love could overcome sin by doing away with it.
I saw that God sees us as these amazing creations that He wants to know and love and yet we are deeply flawed.
And I saw that in our imperfection, He made something perfect to redeem us.
I saw that not even death would have the victory over Jesus.
I know that His love is the only reason we have salvation.
I know that the crucifixion was a terrible way to die but through that process I gained life.
I saw that sin, which tortured me, was upon Him He was enough for do away with all the wrong I've done and give me the opportunity to know God.
All of it was there....
All I did was copy and paste.
