Imagine the Weight

.
What we did at the cross,
 whether we knew it or not,
   was lay our sinful hands all over Jesus,
     already battered and bloody,
      from head to toe,
       while His body hung by a mere three nails
         driven through his gushing wrists and feet,
           and by a single thread
             suspending His waning life.

Imagine the weight
 of all those sins,
   ours,
    tearing the flesh wrapped round those nails,
     and threatening to break that fine fraying thread.

He let sinners nail Him there,
 and let us pile our many sins on Him there,
   then held them aloft with all His might,
     for His Father to see,
       until the last penny of their price
        was paid in full.

Imagine the weight
 of that much love.
