A Mensagem da Cruz

Rude cross was erected,
From it the day fled,
As an emblem of shame and pain;
But I contemplate this cross.
Because on it Jesus
Gave his life for me, a sinner.

Yes, I love the message of the cross
Until I die I will proclaim it;
I will also carry my cross
Until I exchange it for a crown.

From the glory of heaven,
The Lamb of God,
Descended to the humiliating Calvary;
This cross has for me
Endless attractions,
Because on it Jesus saved me.

On this cross He suffered
And already died for me,
My Jesus, to give me forgiveness
And I rejoice in the cross,
From it comes grace and light,
For my sanctification.

Here with Jesus,
The shame of the cross
I want to always bear and suffer;
Christ comes to take me,
And with Him, in the home,
I will have a share of the glory.
