There is a Green Hill Far Away

 

There is a Green Hill Far Away

Jesus Christ is the only one who could have died for us to take away our sins. We don’t know the extent of the pain and anguish that He suffered for us, but we do know that it took someone who loved us so much that He was willing to die for us. There is none other good enough or strong enough to do what He did for us. There might be a time when you might feel you would take a loved one’s place to die so they won’t suffer so much, but could you really? Jesus saved us and He is the only one that can truly save us from our sins and suffering.

Lyrics by Cecil F. Alexander, arranged by George C. Stebbins

“There is a green hill far away, without a city wall, where the dear Lord was crucified, who died to save us all.

We may not know we cannot tell what pains He had to bear; but we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there.

He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, that we might go at last to Heaven, saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good enough, to pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate of Heaven and let us in.

Oh, dearly has He loved, and we must love Him too; And trust in His redeeming blood, and try His works to do.”
