Good Friday – Recipe for Forgiveness and Freedom

April 10, 2009
Oh the Wonderful Cross, Oh the Wonderful Cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the Wonderful Cross, Oh the Wonderful Cross
All who gather here by grace, draw near and bless your name
Chris Tomlin
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my, my God
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood

See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and blood flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my life, my soul, my all

Thank you, Father, for the gift of forgiveness and freedom you give at the cross. Thank you for the demonstration and proof your of love that it was and is. Thank you for Jesus who took all my sin upon Himself thereby making abundant and eternal life mine. Any sacrifice or offering on my part would never be enough to thank you. Give me a heart that daily grows in gratitude for this gift I take for granted so often.

  1. Thanks for reminding me what is the true meaning and foccus of the season. It is sad to say that with all the preparation that goes into our Easter Services it can get very crazy. I must take time to remember and celebrate it in my own heart and home.
