"The Cross Made The Difference"

"The Cross Made The Difference"

Sin took its toll on the body and on the soul,

and then, the spirit suffered loss

But, The Lord Jesus Christ touched us, washed us,

and He showed us His cross

He suffered so, and finally He arose; He lives

now, to save the whole of mankind

He paid the cost and shed His blood, so we could

bask in His love, so sublime

The ragged garments of sin's devastation have become

robes of white, without taint

He has made us the sons and daughters of God,

with a new name of Saint

Blessed be the Lord, the Holy One of Israel,

and the lover of our souls

He pulled us from the darkness of dust's domain,

and placed us in the fold

We are the sheep of His pasture, no longer alone;

we now have a Shepherd

We have been rescued by love, and our hearts are

eternally safe and captured

As we walk in His light and we are humbled by

this newfound nobility

We realize His Spirit gives us entrance to realms of

glory, and heavenly mobility

Thank You, Lord, for Your grace, Your love, Your

blood and Your sacrifice

You paved our way to Gates of pearl, rivers of glass,

and eternity in paradise

Our worship we bestow with restless abandonment, for

all You've done for Your creation

Our Holies rise with tears of thankfulness in a posture

of complete and rampant oblation

We are robed in white, Saints of God, the ones who were

remembered and grafted in

And now the blessings of Abraham are ours to partake,

we have become family, and all one kin

You are a God who loves all, from the least to the greatest;

You never show preference

And, Saints of God are growing, as the light shines from Sea

to Sea, because "The Cross Made The Difference."
