The Gift of the Cross
THE GIFT OF THE CROSS
I am grateful for the power of God revealed in the cross
For without its revelation I would be eternally lost
The gift of salvation in His Son God freely gave
So that a wretch like me could be redeemed and saved.
He shed His blood to cleanse and take away my sin
The Holy Spirit testifies about the new birth within
His willingness to save is evidence of His compassion and love
Manifest in His Son the gift of God’s grace from above.
It broke the power of sin in my life and set me free
I have become a new creation evident for all to see
The transformation that comes from being a doer of His word
It changed my life forever that now His praises might be heard.
Living a new life is the evidence that His Spirit is at work inside
Bearing much fruit is the proof that in His presence I abide
Walking obediently in His ways is how I continue to grow
Abiding in His word is how more of Him I come to know.
Bringing glory to God is my sole purpose here on earth
It is the only way to live that brings value and worth
Looking forward to experiencing the fullness of His grace
When I stand in His presence and see Him face to face.
