THE CROSS

1 Corinthians 1:23

"We preach Christ crucified."

THE CROSS

Come to the cross,

Man's instrument of pain and death;

To maim the body and torture the soul.

Come to your senses,

See your Father standing at the gate;

Waiting for His children to come home.

Come to the Cross,

God's instrument of reconciliation;

To catch the fallen before they crash.

Come to your senses

See your Savior bleeding, dying,

Laying down his life to bring you back.
