Analysis of An Old Invitatation

One long ago day,
     across the sea;
On a cross He hung,
     for you and me.

His purpose was,
     ours sins He'd clear;
He'd wash us clean,
     and hold us dear,

He went to His Father,
     in heaven above;
He pleaded with grace,
      and boundless love.

Forgive them Father,
     for all they do;
I'll die for their sins,
      so they can know You.

His Father said,
     I love you Son;
As You have asked,
     so shall it be done,

So, Jesus died that day,
     for all our sin;
He opened heaven's gates,
     and invited us in.
