the lyrics to this song grab my heart every time i hear it. it's so amazing to think that i can come to the cross of Jesus and be forgiven despite all of the things i've done and all of the many many times i have failed. God is willing to "abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:7). such amazing love, and such an amazing God. beneath the cross of Jesus, my unworthy soul is won.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I find a place to stand,
and wonder at such mercy
that calls me as I am.
For hands that should discard me
hold wounds which tell me, "Come."
Beneath the cross of Jesus
my unworthy soul is won.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
His family is my own.
Once strangers chasing selfish dreams,
now one through grace alone.
How could I now dishonor
The ones that You have loved?
Beneath the cross of Jesus
My unworthy soul is won.
Beneath the cross of Jesus,
the path before the crown—
we follow in His footsteps
where promised hope is found.
How great the joy before us
to be His perfect bride;
Beneath the cross of Jesus
we will gladly live our lives.
