The Cross

The cross is a  plus (+), it's a positive sign (+),
It's not one of division, It is Holy, Divine.
If it is turn to it's side it will multiply (x)
Souls will come to Christ and satan we will defy.

It is not a divider, nor is it a fraction (1/10)
It is the place where God puts His love into action.
It is not a pie (~) in the sky, or a square root (/)
It is the moment when Jesus gave satan the boot.

It is not to make you greater (>) than or less (<) than another,
But to bring us all together equally (=) as sisters and brothers.
It is an added attraction that takes away (-) none,
This is why God sent His only begotten Son.

He will add to the church and take away sin;
This is one way our relationship with God begins.
So be positive (+) , not negative (-) when you think on the cross,
It is a plus(+), if I must, so that not one would be lost.
