Face the Cross
Upon the cross of Jesus my eye at times can see
The very dying form of One who suffered there for me.
Face the cross, He hangs there in your place.
See the Lamb upon the killing tree.
Stand and look into the Savior’s face
As on the cross, He dies for you and me.
Face the cross and see the dying Son.
See the Lamb upon the killing tree.
See His anguish and His tears of love.
Face the cross, He dies to set us free.
Turn not away, turn not away.
His nail-pierced hands are reaching out to you, to you.
Look upon the One without a sin,.
Spotless Lamb upon the killing tree.
Feel His pain and love from deep within,
So great a price, yet paid so willingly.
Turn not away, turn not away,
Face the cross, face the cross.
Face the One who suffers in your place,
See the Lamb, upon the killing tree.
Light of the world, now clothed in darkness grim
As on the cross, He hangs in agony.
Face the cross and turn not away, turn not away.
His nail-pierced hands are reaching out to you.
Turn not away, behold His wounded side.
Turn not away, behold the crucified.
Face the cross, He hangs there in your place.
Face the cross, and see the King of Grace.
Face the cross, face the cross.
This season of Easter has been nothing short of reflective and meaningful, having been doing quite a bit of reading for membership class and getting a deeper understanding of God and why Christ had to come as Man and die for our sin and shame.. all I can say is that the magnitude of His love for us is unquantifiable, unsurpassable and unfathomable.
And yet despite all that has been done for us, we let ourselves get distracted by things of the world and turn away from the very hands that were pierced for us instead of grasping it with all our strength.
Thank You Jesus for Your ultimate sacrifice, and may we as Your children learn to love You more and more each day as we look towards the cross in all that we do.
