What Is Your Response?

By M. C. Wilcox

M. C. WILCOX
“God gave his only begotten Son; his Son gave himself.”
God gave his Son, because for thee, O soul, he bore Such love as heaven could not hold and God endure; And therefore at eternal cost he oped the door, And gave his Son, his only Son, earth’s ills to cure. God gave, God gave the wondrous price for me and thee, The lonely life, the death of shame, the thorn-crowned brow,— Amazing love, deeper than the unmeasured sea,— God gave his Son, his Son himself; what givest thou?
The Christ of God loved man, and therefore gave himself For us, that us he might redeem from sin and wrong; He bought us with a price above all worldly pelf, He fought our fight for us, and conquered e’en the strong, And spoiled the strong one’s house, victor o’er all his foes. On high he sits, King-Priest, and waits thee to endow With greater power, far richer gifts—for that he died and rose— God gave his Son, his Son himself; what givest thou?
