The cross


                          The Cross! The cross!

                        A punctuation mark of God

                        In history lies in shape of the cross

                        The cross an idol it’s not

                        A religious story it’s not

                        It’s not sentimental nonsense

                        Neither it is a cliche

                                                                                                                                         

                        It is historic and real

                        Impossible it is to attain the glory of the cross

                        Without the agony of the cross

                        Bounty of righteousness does the cross introduce

 

                        The cross! It’s too important

                        To be left to theologians

                        The cross! Stirs our indignation                               

                        The cross! Stirs our admiration

 

                        The cross! A true reflection of His love

                        He went down a criminal

                        And rose a King

                        Which reveals his divinity and humanity

 

                        It kicked of the hell-bound of men

                        Takes away our punishment

                        And offered us His righteousness

                        The cross! God’s addiction sign (+)

                        For saving the world

                        The cross! ….the cross!
