Reflecting on the Cross

"I have indeed seen the misery of my people...So I have come down to rescue them..." Exodus 3:7-8
"They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head." Matthew 27:28-29
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

This, the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; took the blame, bore the wrath— we stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see my name written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.
This, the pow’r of the cross: Son of God—slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.
