Look To the Cross

when I look to the cross
I see my life's not all at a loss
I see all the things to gain
a life free from guilt
free from shame
when I look at the cross
I know in times of brokenness
I was not to blame
Jesus was crucified
and died
so he could be by our side
our Guardian through all of life to come
a life where gods' will be done
no matter what life may bring
when we look to the cross we can sing
lifes  situations can try to crush us on every side
life can be cruel and tough
but we have peace we have hope
we have assurance when to the 
cross we  look.     Amen 


For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1 Peter 2:24 

"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." NIV?

 Hebrews 12:2 
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
