Look To the Cross

when I look to the cross I see my life's not all at a loss I see all the things to gain a life free from guilt free from shame when I look at the cross I know in times of brokenness I was not to blame Jesus was crucified and died so he could be by our side our Guardian through all of life to come a life where gods' will be done no matter what life may bring when we look to the cross we can sing lifes situations can try to crush us on every side life can be cruel and tough but we have peace we have hope we have assurance when to the cross we look. Amen For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." NIV? Hebrews 12:2 Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

"When we look to the cross we can sing" Absolute truth! Even HE is smiling at that! Very nice!
