That Cross

Oh, how broken, wounded, and hurting
Was my Jesus before he was placed
On that cross.

He took the pain, the distress,

And my sins as he was nailed
To that cross.

My salvation was sealed that day,
When He so graciously took my sins away
On that cross.

His love for this world was shown as he cried out
In pain, to the Father, "Forgive them,"
As they beat him and scourged him
On that cross.

Many have received him and will live
Forever with Him, in eternity,
Because of that cross.

Others have forsaken Him and will die not knowing Him
Because they do not believe He died
On that cross.

He Lives in my heart, today,
Because of that cross.
