The Power of the Cross

Considered to be an ordinary wood Was the cross at Golgotha where it stood On which there lay a man with bad mood Who was thought not to be fully good On the cross came the strength that sought For all those who are weak to have a thought Of being free from him by whom they were bought And become His friend who turned satan's plan to nought On the cross was made public our healing Through Jesus who for us is still waiting To believe in God before whom He is now pleading For all the sinners who into salvation are still coming On the cross man has an encounter with righteousness Bringing him into his rightful place of brightness And having had the heavenly taste of holiness He is able to maintain with his maker a sense of closeness
