THE WONDERFUL CROSS


Lately I have had the Chris Tomlin song, "The Wonderful Cross" resonating in my head.

It goes..

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless
Your name

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all


Following Jesus is not an occasional act. It is a 24/7 lifestyle. A lifestyle that "demands my soul, my life, my all."

Lord show me how to truly die to myself, so that I might truly live for you!
