Rude Cruz
Igreja Cristã Maranata
Rough Cross
Rough 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 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,
I want to always bear and suffer
The shame of the cross;
Christ comes to take me,
And with Him, in the home,
I will have a share of the glory.
