And I think upon your every painful wound
My heart swells with such a burning love for you
And I fall in love with you . . . all over again.
When I muse upon the crown of thorns pressed on your head, my King
And I gaze upon your nail-scarred hands and feet
My heart magnifies with deeper love for you
And I fall in love with you . . . all over again.
When I survey the throbbing soreness of your broken heart, my Friend
How your surely were consumed by all my sin
Then my heart rises with overwhelming love for you
And I fall in love with you . . . all over again.
When I ponder how you chose this path of life for me, my Love
And I consider You alone are all my Prize
Then I take up my own cross to follow closely after You
And I fall in love with you . . . all over again.
When I consider all your gentle touches, loving Master
And how you brush me with sweet kisses and embrace me
Then I am struck with fervent ardor as I meet you face to face
And I fall in love with you . . . all over again.

Luke 9:23—“And He said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”
Heb. 12:2—“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Heb. 13:12-14—“Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own Blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.”
1 Pet. 4:1-2—“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin.
