The cross is as an emblem
of love beyond compare.
A reminder of Golgotha
and my Savior, who died there.
Because of His great love for me
He suffered, bled and died.
Upon a cruel, rugged cross,
my Lord was crucified.
The mind cannot perceive,
and there are no words to tell,
the greatness of His pain,
as that hammer struck each nail.
He hung and died upon that cross,
to ransom all from sin;
That when our lives are over,
heavens gates may bid us in.
I’ll not forget His sacrifice,
nor let it be for naught,
but remember why He came
and live as He has taught.
So as He looks upon the earth
from heaven He will see,
I live each day with gratitude
for what He’s done for me.
I give my life to Christ,
for He saved my soul from loss;
And I’m reminded of His love
every time I see a cross.
