Dear Friends,
Last Sunday we sang in church an old hymn I had not heard for some time and I cannot describe how it blessed my soul. So I share it with you in today’s devotional. Be sure you look up the Scripture reference and then take your time savoring the wonderful truth of the gospel for your own soul. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Colossians 2:13   (ESV)

  ¹³ And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

Colossians 2:13

“CALVARY COVERS IT ALL\

“Far dearer than all that the world can impart

     Was the message that came to my heart;

How that Jesus alone for my sin did atone,

     And Calvary covers it all.

The stripes that He bore and the thorns that He wore

     Told His mercy and love evermore;

And my heart bowed in shame as I called on His name,

     And Calvary covers it all.

How matchless the grace, when I looked on the face

     Of this Jesus, my crucified Lord;

My redemption complete I am found at His feet,

     And Calvary covers it all.

How blessed the thought, that my soul by Him bought,

     Shall be His in the glory on high;

Where with gladness of song I’ll be one of the throng,

     And Calvary covers it all.

Calvary covers it all,

     My past with its sin and stain;

My guilt and despair Jesus took on Him there,

     And Calvary covers it all.”

[Mrs. Walter G. Taylor]
