The Cross For Me

Leave a reply 
The cross stood there before you
Ready to take your life
You were beaten, mocked and tortured
As the crowd cried crucify

They led you up a mountain
Exhausted you complied
Then they laid you on that cross
To suffer, bleed and die

Nails were swiftly driven
Through your wrists and feet
They raised the cross up high
So that all the world could see

All through that agony and pain
You never said a word
No slight complaint or whisper
Did you utter in return

Just a few hours later
It is finished you cried out
In that moment all of heaven
Let out a painful shout

The Son of God had given up
His life for you and me
Heaven’s Lamb, the King of Glory
Gave sin it’s last defeat

They laid Him in a borrowed tomb
A stone was put in place
Yet in three days it rolled away
From death to life, He raised

He raised my hope for heaven
He raised my peace from pain
He raised my joy from sorrow
He gave me life again

Oh, what a precious Savior
Is Jesus Christ my Lord
Forever I will praise Him
For the cross for me He bore

He Died For You

Leave a reply 
In the midst of my troubles when all seems so lost
I turn my eyes upward to that man on the cross
He suffered in anguish pain ripped His soul
Despised and rejected the scars took their toll

In one last, deep breath "It is finished" He said
And He gave up His life and was taken for dead
"What was finished" you ask as you look on that tree
"Did the death of one man make a difference to me"

The plan of salvation that God had begun
In the beginning had now been won 
For Jesus took all of our sin on that cross
He gave up His life at a terrible cost

The perfect lamb slain for all of our sin
So that we might find freedom deep down within
Have you knelt at His cross and accepted this truth?
So precious and gracious - he died there for you.

Isn’t It Enough

If He loves me why do I suffer
If He loves me why do I hurt
If He loves me why do the trials of life
Bring trouble at every turn

If He loves me why do I tremble
At what the next day will bring
If He loves me when will He come to my side
And relieve all that burns and stings

Isn’t it enough that He died for me to take away my sin
Isn’t it enough that the Spirit comes to settle your heart within
All that this life will throw at you
Will never compare to His love
So when trials and tests
Seem to steal all your rest
Come to Jesus for He is enough

If He loves me why is there heartache
If He loves me why am I poor
If he loves me why does it feel like each day
I find myself behind a door

I can’t explain it
I don’t know why
The troubles of life
Keep coming by
I’ll just press on
Giving Him praise
For he is the maker
Of all my days

Isn’t it enough that He died for me to take away my sin
Isn’t it enough that the Spirit comes to settle your heart within
All that this life will throw at you
Will never compare to His love
So when trials and tests
Seem to steal all your rest
Come to Jesus for He is enough
