Upon that old rugged cross on Calvary…
Upon that old rugged cross on Calvary, what do you see my soul?
I see evil, suffering, contempt and shame.
Move closer and see again……..
I see tears, sorrow, abandonment and betrayal.
Is that all you see, my soul? Come closer still and look again…….
Ah! I begin to see love, mercy, forgiveness and the hidden wisdom of you, my God.
Stay a while then, beneath that old rugged cross, lifted so high for you.
Wait in silence, in hope and in trust,
For soon you’ll see glory, power and a new life waiting for you.
