Meditations on the Cross
The glorious cross so dim and so black
Through all its pain nothing do I lack
An eternal place in heaven reserved
Purchased with blood so undeserved
Christ’s redeeming blood so undeserved
All that I was all that God hates
His awesome wrath did Christ propitiate
God’s justice satisfied in Christ’s sacrifice
The Lamb of God died for my eternal life
The Lamb of God died for our eternal life
Enemies of God and children of wrath
Idolatrous lives wasted on the wrong path
Reconciliation between God and men
Christ is victor over death and sin
Walk now in victory over death and sin
Jesus our savior pours out perfect love
Holy and pure from heaven above
Mercy toward sinners is ours now to claim
Atonement was made when Christ took the blame
Atonement was made when Christ took our blame
To bring us to God
He suffered and died
His righteous blood
For my unrighteous life
His righteous blood for our unrighteous life
