THE CROSS

It was for me Christ hung upon the cross;

He made atonement for evil I had wrought

And bore my sins in poverty and loss;

Made sin for me He met God's righteous wrath;

He was my ransom and His own life the cost,

While by His precious blood I have been bought.

He died for me and - oh amazing thought! -

The One who died is in His Person God.

For me He took the curse of broken law,

Reconciled me who otherwise was lost,

Shed precious blood to cleanse from every spot

And lives to be Deliverer and Lord.
