A Mensagem da Cruz
Salmos e Hinos (Hinário Congregacional)
The Message of the Cross
On Calvary a cross was raised against the sky
As a symbol of insult and pain
But I love that cross: it was there that Jesus
Gave His life for me, a sinner
Yes, I will always love that cross!
Its triumph will be my joy
For one day, instead of a cross
Jesus will give me the crown!
From the glory of heaven, the Lamb of God
Descended to the humiliating Calvary
The cross has endless attractions for me
It was there that Jesus saved me
Yes, I will always love that cross!
Its triumph will be my joy
For one day, instead of a cross
Jesus will give me the crown!
There on the cross He suffered, despised, He died
My Jesus, to give me forgiveness
From it now comes to me all good
I have real salvation in it
Yes, I will always love that cross!
Its triumph will be my joy
For one day, instead of a cross
Jesus will give me the crown!
Here with Jesus, I want to always bear
The shame of the cross and suffer
When Christ returns to take me from here
I will receive His glory
Yes, I will always love that cross!
Its triumph will be my joy
For one day, instead of a cross
Jesus will give me the crown!
