Cling to the Cross

February 7: I realize I'm posting out of order, but I really wanted to share these lyrics. We've sung this song the last two weekends at church, and I just love the words.

Cling to the Cross

No day of my life has passed that has not

Proved me guilty in Your sight.

The best that I have to offer are these filthy rags,

And yet You love me...

All things in me call for my rejection,

All things in You plead my acceptance.

I am guilty but pardoned,

By grace I've been set free.

I am ransomed through

The blood You shed for me.

I was dead in my transgressions,

But life You brought to me.

I am reconciled through mercy,

To the cross I cling.

No more am I a slave to sin,

But bought with a price.

Redemption that was purchased

Through the blessed cross

That You bore for me.
