THE EMPTY CROSS
The Cross that day and forever,
Shouts, "I love and care for you!"
Much more than just a tree or symbol of shame
That was fashioned into The Cross of Calvary that day.
For He was Scourged to the point of death,
Then He walked that lonely walk carrying that Cross,
For you and me.
Then at the place of "The Skull," Mount Calvary,
He was nailed to that Cross,
Then placed high above all that all might see.
By Crucifixion His shed Blood covered
The sins of all that day.
Sins bondage He removed, He cleansed all to set free,
When His Shed Blood flowed Salvation and Eternal Life to bring,
Forgiven, Forgotten, Forever,
For All who by Faith, believe, accept, and receive,
Christ of Calvary.
Claimed In His name and sealed by God for Him,
God's Grace in Completion.
For Jesus Christ the Son of God,
Changed the world the Third Day,
He Arose, The Tomb could not hold,
The sting of death He removed.
Christ Blessed by God,
The King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Cross and the Tomb empty today,
The price He has paid.
Death could not hold, Christ lives and awaits today.
Reach out to Him Salvation to Receive.
The Empty Cross,
Shouts, "I love and care for you!"
It proclaims the believers belief in Him,
Life anew, by God's Loving Grace, has been given in Him for Eternity's Day.
Lord, from the heart, I love You,
