Before The Cross

Many of you know the challenges John and I faced during our season of buying and selling a house. It was very difficult and we didn't always respond in a Godly way. However, it is good to know that we have a sovereign God who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our sin. His Son, Jesus Christ!! Last night, at Care Group, we sang this song during worship and it really reached my heart. I thought I would share this with you all and maybe it will speak to you or you can tuck it away for future trials. Because, they are inevitable.

Before the Cross

My Savior's sacrifice,
Paid for all my sins.
So in my suffering,
I look to the cross again.
No need no want, no trial no pain,
Can compare to this.
The wrath of God once meant for me
Was all spent on Him.

Before the cross
I humbly bow.
I place my trust in the Savior.
Your finished work captures my gaze.
You bore the wrath
I know the grace!

In my darkest hour
Your presence is my peace.
In my days of joy
Your grace carries me.
Jesus my great high priest
The one who pleads for me
My heart is filled faith in you
Here at Calvary on my needs

Before the cross
I humbly bow.
I place my trust in the Savior.
Your finished work captures my gaze.
You bore the wrath
I know the grace!

No need no want, no trial no pain,
Can compare to this.
The wrath of God once meant for me
Was all spent on Him.

Before the cross
I humbly bow.
I place my trust in the Savior.
Your finished work captures my gaze.
You bore the wrath
I know the grace!
