THE STORY TOLD.
Yes, Jesus could have done it;
But let me tell you why
He would not use His power,
But chose to stay and die.
He had become our "Surety;"
And what we could not pay,
He paid instead, and for us,
On that one dreadful day.
For our sins He suffered;
For our sins He died;
And "not for ours only,"
But all the world's beside!
