CAN THIS EARN YOUR SMILE, LORD?
My Lord, Your love has reached such an extreme.
I feel the greatness of Your noble ways.
You came to earth to die and save mankind
and wash the sins they have, which aren’t Your own.

I know that love can reach such high extent,
but where is That Who is on such a throne,
Who leaves his scepter and descends to earth
and dies in such a way by hands He loves.

You came and died just as a sacrifice
and those You loved prepared Your painful cross.
Just ere Your death, You asked Your Father dear,
“Forgive them, Lord; they don’t know what they’ve done.”

Where am I, Lord, from such heroic acts?
I’m weak but I still say, “I love You, Christ.
I know my love is great, and want You pleased.
I don’t ken what to do to make You smile.
