A Cross Centered Life




"Divine love triumphed over divine wrath by divine self-sacrifice."
                     ~John Stott





There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
             ~Romans 8:1

THE GLORY OF THE CROSS



What wisdom once devised the plan, Where all our sin and pride


Was placed upon the perfect Lamb, Who suffered, bled, and died?


The wisdom of a Sovereign God, Whose greatness will be shown


When those who crucified Your Son


Rejoice around Your throne


[Chorus] And, oh, the glory of the cross


That You would send Your Son for us


I gladly count my life as loss


That I might come to know


The glory of, the glory of the cross


What righteousness was there revealed, That sets the guilty free


That justifies ungodly men, And calls the filthy clean?


A righteousness that proved to all, Your justice has been met


And holy wrath is satisfied


Through one atoning death

[Chorus]


What mercy now has been proclaimed, For those who would believe


A love incomprehensible, Our minds could not conceive?


A mercy that forgives my sin, Then makes me like Your Son


And now I’m loved forevermore


Because of what You’ve done


[Chorus]

    Isn't it beautiful to know that He is our all in all, and not us?
