Listen to poem:
See that cross on the hill? Salvation hung there for humanity Once a Man on that cross Was crucified for my iniquity At that cross on the hill Where Jesus died for the sin of the world His blood paid the debt for eternity Came to earth as a Man Relinquished divine immortality The Word became flesh to be tempted and tried But the sin price was paid and atonement was made When He cried, “It is finished,” And so we give glory, and honor, and praise To Jesus forever Son of Man lifted up Enduring the wrath of the Father Forsaken and spared for the sin of the world At the foot of that cross The mockers cried out as He died in their place Innocent Substitute sent to die in our place Then the veil rent in two, age of grace born anew When He said, “It is finished,” And so we give glory, and honor, and praise To Jesus forever Now the sin price is paid, the atonement is made Since He cried, “It is finished,” And so we give glory, and honor, and praise To Jesus forever See that cross on the hill? Salvation hung there for humanity Once a Man on that cross Was crucified for my iniquity
