The Power of the Cross: a Waiting Meditation...

Thank you, my Lord Jesus Christ, for dying for ME! Thank you for taking my place on that Cross. Thank you for experiencing mysteriously the separation from God that my sin warranted.

"It is Finished!" What glorious words!

Thank you that I stand perfect in Your sight because of YOU...and Your payment. And thank you for Your Life that is now mine because of Your Love. Amen.

Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day

Christ on the road to Calvary

tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then

nailed to a cross of wood

This the pow'r of the cross

Christ became sin for us

took the blame, bore the wrath

we stand forgiven at the cross

Oh, to see the pain written on your face

bearing the awesome weight of sin

every bitter thought, every evil deed

crowning your bloodstained brown

This the pow'r of the cross

Christ became sin for us

took the blame, bore the wrath

we stand forgiven at the cross

Now the daylight flees

Now the ground beneath

quakes as it maker bows his head

curtain torn into

dead are raise to life

"finished" the victory cry

This the pow'r of the cross

Christ became sin for us

took the blame, bore the wrath

we stand forgiven at the cross

Oh, to see my name written in the wounds

for through your suffering i am free

death is crushed to death

life is mine to live

won through you selfless love

This the pow'r of the cross

Son of God slain for us

what a love, what a cost

we stand forgiven at the cross
