When I think of the pain you bore
And all that you’ve done for me
I can’t help but kneel at the foot of the cross
And thank you for setting me free
I was lost and drifting through life
Like a ship without a sail
You found me when I was dep in distress
And you covered me with your grace
I do not deserve this great mercy
As your love hears my desperate plea
I sit here in awe that such a great God
Would take time to rescue me
So now I will sing Thank you Jesus
For the price that you paid in the cross
I will tell all the world of your goodness
And the change in my life you have caused
For I was the chiefest of sinners
Now peace and joy reign in my heart
Thank you, dear Lord, for rescuing me
By leading me straight to the cross
On the front of the cross is agony
On the back of the cross is peace
On the front of the cross is sorrow
On the back of the cross is joy
On the front of the cross is weakness
On the back of the cross is strength
On the front of the cross is doubt
On the back of the cross is faith
On the front of the cross is pain
On the back of the cross is healing
On the front of the cross is deceit
On the back of the cross is honesty
On the front of the cross are lies
On the back of the cross is truth
On the front of the cross is bondage
On the back of the cross is freedom
On the front of the cross is darkness
On the back of the cross is light
On the front of the cross we are lost
On the back of the cross we find the way
On the front of the cross is sin
On the back of the cross is forgiveness
On the front of the cross we are stained with sin
On the back of the cross we are white as snow
On the front of the cross is defeat
On the back of the cross is victory
On the front of the cross is death
On the back of the cross is eternal life
If we stay on the front of the cross, hell will be our destination
When we go through the cross, and come to the back, our destination is heaven
All is only achieved if we go through the cross.
Have you seen Him on the front of the cross,
blood stained, nailed, in agony?
Have you accepted Him as your sacrifice for your sin?
If you have, then come through the Cross for victory.
Come to the back of the cross and realize all God has for you.
I wrote this song several years ago but don;t think I ever posted it here. This is a good time to do that!
At the foot of the cross, the blood drips down
From the nails in his feet and the thorns in his brow
A crimson pool gathers there on the ground
At the foot of the cross.
CHORUS
There is forgiveness at the foot of the cross
Mercy unending, at such a great cost
Grace everlasting, eternal and free
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross, my tears pour out
I am free from my fear, free from my doubt
I found a Savior to turn me about
At the foot of the cross
CHORUS
At the foot of the cross, I now kneel in prayer
To my wonderful savior, who died for me there
He has risen to Heaven, and will soon take me there
From the foot of the cross.
CHORUS
REFRAIN
Grace everlasting, eternal and free
At the foot of the cross. At the foot of the cross
