What Law Beloved Jesus Hast Thou Broken – Hymn Lyric
What law, beloved Jesus, hast Thou broken?
Why have Thy foes such cruel judgment spoken?
What is Thy crime? for what do they disdain Thee?
Why thus arraign Thee?
What laid on Thee the griefs Thy soul endured?
Ah! Lord, my guilt Thy stripes and wounds procured;
My sad desert, whose sins my God have grieved,
Thou has received.
How great, how wonderful is this correction,
The Shepherd’s death becomes His sheep‘s protection!
The servant’s sin to Heav’n for vengeance crieth;
His good Lord dieth!
To reach Thy grace in vain all thought ascendeth;
Above my praise Thy mercy far exendeth!
Thy deeds of love surpass our utmost measure
Of work and treasure.
Meaning of What Law Beloved Jesus Hast Thou Broken
Oh, beloved Jesus, what law have you broken?
As I ponder these words from the hymn, my heart is filled with gratitude for the sacrifices you have made for us. You, the innocent and blameless one, took on the sins of the world so that we may be saved. Your love knows no bounds, and your grace is truly beyond measure.
Why did your foes speak cruel judgments against you? Why did they disdain you, the pure and righteous one? It is unfathomable to think that the very ones you came to save would reject you and demand your crucifixion.
Your stripes and wounds were not for your own sins, but for ours. It was our guilt that you bore on the cross, our sins that you paid for with your blood. The weight of our transgressions was heavy, but you carried it with grace and love.
The correction you faced, the suffering you endured, it was all for our protection. Like a shepherd laying down his life for his sheep, you gave everything for us. Your death brought us life, your sacrifice brought us redemption.
Your mercy, dear Jesus, is truly beyond our understanding. Our words of praise fall short in capturing the depth of your love. Your deeds of grace surpass all we can imagine, and your love for us knows no bounds.
So, let us bow in gratitude and humility before you, dear Jesus. Let us lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving for all you have done for us. May we never forget the price you paid for our salvation, and may we always walk in the light of your love.
Thank you, beloved Jesus, for all you have done. Thank you for your sacrifice, your love, and your mercy. May we never cease to marvel at the wonder of your grace, and may we always strive to live in a way that honors the gift you have given us.
Amen.
