Beauty of the Cross

Today is Good Friday! Remember the meaning and importance of it. Jesus Christ was beaten and died on the cross for us! He died for our sins so that we may live in paradise with Him! That is the best gift anyone could ever give! We are forgiven! We are free because of that! Words cannot express how thankful I am! He has changed my heart and my ways! I am a new creation! Jesus is my Lord and Savior! ♥


‎"He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 - We are healed!!! Hallelujah!!





"Beauty of the Cross" - Jonny Diaz 


At the cross I find the beauty of Your matchless grace
At the cross I see a King who died to take my place
It's the moment that You made me clean and pardoned my soul
Amazing grace that I would be allowed unto Your throne
Not by my own will but solely by Your will alone
I'm unworthy of this love you have shown to me
I see my desperate need

The beauty of the cross is that there's One who has redeemed my soul
Beauty of the cross is that I'm finally free and letting go
Beauty of the cross is that Your grace has found me just as I am

Not by my own works that I may boast or I may come
But simply through your Son the sinless and Exalted One
Only through the cross that I'm made clean to draw near to you
Saved so that you would receive all glory due Your name
Everlasting God from age to age you never change
A true love story remains for all eternity
That all the world would see

My sinful soul could only be
Redeemed by the blood of a sinless King
So you came to the world that You had made
Conquered sin on the cross and You rose from the grave

That's the beauty of the cross
