Alex, GREAT reflection on that song – well said! Excellent integration of that song’s message with the gospel! Thank you!

Jesus caught the grenade that ought to have been thrown at me, was pierced with the blade that should have pierced me, stood in front of the train that was barreling towards me, went through all of this pain (and more) for me because I do not love Him with all my heart, all my soul and all my strength.
