Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Glorying In the Cross - Galatians 6: 14

The cross changed history no doubt
there God dealt with sin and satan
nailing them there powerless to effect
so victory is ours for salvation to win

So only one thing should we glory in
Lord Jesus Christ on the cross
for there He died for all our sins
so at eternity we suffer no loss

For all glorying is fully vain
except in Christ's cross fully sure
as nothing else is worth a thought
the cross only to effectively endure

This world with all it's pleasures
we can say is to us crucified
on the cross of Christ's surrender
making our affections to have died

So we have likewise put to death
all belongs to this sin curse planet
living only and surely to Christ
who's paid all our sinful debt

Glory on in the cross
where Jesus paid it all
to deal with sin completely
freeing us from humanity's fall


(But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.)
 Galatians ch. 6 v.14 (ESV)
