I Saw The Cross Of Jesus [#ISawTheCrossOfJesus]
Song based on the Bible verse:
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1
I saw the cross of Jesus when burdened with my sin
I sought the cross of Jesus to give me peace within
I brought my soul to Jesus He cleansed it in His blood
And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God
2
I love the cross of Jesus it tells me what I am
A vile and guilty creature saved only through the Lamb
No righteousness nor merit no beauty I can plead
Yet in the cross of glory my title there I read
3
I clasp the cross of Jesus in every trying hour
My sure and certain refuge my never failing tower
In every fear and conflict I more than conqueror am
Living I’m safe or dying thro’ Christ the risen Lamb
4
Sweet is the cross of Jesus There let my weary heart
Still rest in peace unshaken till with Him ne’er to part
And then in strains of glory I’ll sing His wondrous power
Where sin can never enter and death is known no more
