Here's a song that had a powerful affect on me last week. After singing it at church on Sunday we downloaded it. While baking a batch of cookies on Monday it played over and over on my daughter's ipod through the stereo.  My hands were busy, and the kids were all occupied elsewhere, so I couldn't get over to change the song. God used that to cement it and the truth it proclaims in my mind. The Holy Spirit reminded me of it's truth several times last week as I endeavored to remember the gospel.

Here are the lyrics:

I Love The Cross

Words and music by Mark Altrogge
As recorded on Everlasting

Lyrics

All my sins forgiven
Far removed as east from west
Cast into the depths of the ocean
Of grace and redeeming love

I love the place where my Savior died
I love the place where I was justified
I love the place
Where Your blood flowed down
To give me life
I love the Cross
I love the Cross
I love the Cross
The Cross of Christ

All my guilt atoned for
Every debt is paid in full
Though my sins were scarlet
Now I’m clean as a fresh fallen snow

These simple words encapsulate so well the work of the cross and give me such hope in Christ!
