The Love Of God

There are lessons I have learned
Along life’s weary way;
And there are many other things
He’s teaching me each day.

But something that still puzzles me,
Which I’ll never understand,
Is why the One who set the stars in place
Chose to come to earth as man.

And still a greater mystery
That I will never solve,
Is why He chose to die for us,
In agony, on a cross.

And why on earth did He choose me
To be included in His plan?
I’m so thankful for the love of God,
But I will never understand.

And without controversy, great is the mystery
of godliness; God was manifested in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached
among Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up in glory. (I Timothy 3:16)

Look To The Cross

Look to the cross,
It shines in the darkness;
Look to cross,
It’s beckoning you.

Look to the cross,
It’s the way of salvation;
Look to the cross,
Look and believe.

For the preaching of the cross
is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is
the power of God. (I Corinthians 1:18)

Come To The Cross

Come to the foot of the cross,
Come, every nation and tongue,
Come, every seeking soul,
Come, every wayward one.

Mercy and grace await you,
And love like you’ve never known;
Come to the foot of the cross,
Come give Him your heart of stone.

For the message of the cross is foolishness
to those who are perishing, but to us who
are being saved it is the power of God.
(I Corinthians 1:18)
