Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Hear My Son

See that cross on the hill?
Salvation hung there for humanity
Once a Man on that cross
Was crucified for my iniquity

At that cross on the hill
Where Jesus died for the sin of the world
His blood paid the debt for eternity
Came to earth as a Man
Relinquished divine immortality
The Word became flesh to be tempted and tried 

But the sin price was paid and atonement was made
When He cried, “It is finished,” 
And so we give glory, and honor, and praise
To Jesus forever

Son of Man lifted up
Enduring the wrath of the Father
Forsaken and spared for the sin of the world
At the foot of that cross
The mockers cried out as He died in their place
Innocent Substitute sent to die in our place

Then the veil rent in two, age of grace born anew
When He said, “It is finished,”
And so we give glory, and honor, and praise
To Jesus forever

Now the sin price is paid, the atonement is made
Since He cried, “It is finished,”
And so we give glory, and honor, and praise
To Jesus forever

See that cross on the hill? 
Salvation hung there for humanity
Once a Man on that cross
Was crucified for my iniquity
