The Symbol of Love’s Greatest Story
In the shadows of sin, I roam, a scoundrel,
An offender, lost, my soul poisoned.
Deserving death, sin’s venom bites,
In depth’s darkness, I am only a fool.
Manifestly guilty, I embody a rebel,
Longing for rescue, escaping Satan’s snare.
In the face of death, I seek a foretaste of eternal grace,
Yearning for the cross’ embrace to fill my empty space.
The cross, a beacon of hope,
Leading me from darkness to eternal Light.
Spiritually captive, I find my release,
At the foot of the cross, I discover peace.
My unrighteousness, a glimpse of my sin,
A burden too heavy to bear,
Yet the cross offers a sweet reprieve,
Jesus’ death is my death to self.
God’s own Son, the sacrifice divine,
Poured out His blood, for this soul of mine.
Propitiated wrath, love’s purest form,
At the cross, salvation allows me to be reborn.
Jesus, my substitute, my sins He bore,
Grief, sorrows, transgressions, iniquities, and more.
Through His love, the cross is revealed,
Securing redemption, I am now sealed.
Eternity in Heaven awaits me,
Jesus, my Savior, in His presence will I stand.
The cross, the symbol of love’s greatest story,
Bringing hope, redemption, and eternal glory.
Happy Easter
