Wandering far from the wellspring, parched, hot and dry\u2026<\/h6>\n
No longer sitting close to the Master, I realized I had left his side\u2026<\/h6>\n
I used to hear his heartbeat, and listen when He\u2019d speak\u2026<\/h6>\n
I had felt his strength and steadfast love, but my heart had grown cold and weak\u2026<\/h6>\n
So, I ran as fast as my feet, would carry me back to where I knew\u2026<\/h6>\n
The Master would be waiting, he longed for me too.<\/h6>\n
With open arms stretched wide for me, tears running down his cheeks<\/h6>\n
I saw the cross and cried, Oh Lord, you would die for me?<\/h6>\n
The crowd was mocking and tormenting Him, but He knew what this would mean<\/h6>\n
\u201cFather, forgive, them\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
Our eyes met and I bowed down in grief, as I cried in disbelief\u2026<\/h6>\n
It was no longer all about me\u2026<\/h6>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry Lord,\u201d I whispered low as I felt his agony.<\/h6>\n
\u201cIt is finished,\u201d he said and then he hung his head.<\/h6>\n
I screamed, \u201cGod take me too, I\u2019m sorry I ever left you!\u201d<\/h6>\n
A gentle breeze swept over me, I heard a heartbeat and then I knew\u2026I was forgiven!<\/h6>\n

Hebrew: Tetelestai <\/strong>means \u201cthe sacrifice is complete.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\n
John 19:28-30 New King James Version\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
It Is Finished<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, \u201cI thirst!\u201d Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put\u00a0it\u00a0on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So, when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, \u201cIt is finished!\u201d And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
