The Picture of the Cross

THE CROSS

THE CROSS WHERE JESUS DIED
IS A SYMBOL OF LIFE FOR US
THE WHYS CANNOT BE DENIED
IT STILL STANDS FOR HOLY TRUST.

HE WANDERED THIS EARTH TO TRY
TO TELL THE STORY OF THE FATHER
HOW HE WOULD LOVE AND THEN DIE
A MORTAL MAN, NO ONE WOULD BOTHER.

TO INTERVENE TO SAVE HIS LIFE
FOR THAT WASN’T IN THE PLAN
HE CARRIED ALL SINS AND STRIFE
BECAUSE HE WAS MADE JUST A MAN.

GOD THE FATHER, WAS WAITING
TO SEND THE ANGEL FOR HIM
WHILE OTHERS HEARTS WERE ACHING
NOT KNOWING HE WOULD COME AGAIN.

THE ANGEL ROLLED THE STONE AWAY
AND ALL THAT JESUS HAD SUFFERED
UPON THAT CROSS WOULD MARK THE DAY
WHEN FROM ALL SINS WE RECOVERED.

I LOVE THAT OLD CROSS, WHERE HE DIED
AND NEVER WILL I FORGET TO GIVE THANKS
FOR THE GRACE AND MERCY IT SUPPLIED
FOR ALL SINNERS AND FOR ALL SAINTS.

OH SINNER, WANT YOU COME TODAY
THERE’S ROOM AT THAT CROSS FOR YOU
AND LET HIM TAKE ALL YOUR SINS AWAY
TO PROVIDE A MANSION FOR YOU TOO!

JOHN 3:16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM
SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVER-
LASTING LIFE.
