Grateful

When this earthly life is popularly lived
By those who mock God's holy name
When every human threat comes with believing Him
I will cling to His promises alone

When I see the wondrous cross of Jesus
How His flesh was torn, saving sinners such as I
I forget all earthly wand'rings and focus on the prize
Grateful for the wondrous cross of Jesus

When sickness and death is just an inch away
Every resource was used up in every way
When every human pain makes the suff'ring hard to bear
I will cling to His hope alone

When I see the wondrous cross of Jesus
How He endured every curse, saving sinners such as I
I forget all earthly wand'rings and focus on the prize
Grateful for the wondrous cross of Jesus

The mercy of the Lord made Him leave His throne
To endure His Father's wrath
Putting on His blood-stained robe,
In His righteousness, I'm clothed
And I willingly took up His cross

When I see the wondrous cross of Jesus
How His Father took His life, giving breath to such as I
I believe this crucified Man rose up a glorious King
And chose me
To save me

I'll be forever grateful for the wondrous cross of Jesus

Hi

I've read your blog post and it is quite cool. The way you show your love to the Lord is amazing. I wish I could hear those lyrics in a song. Nice post, by the way.

Hello! Thank you very much! :) It's only by the grace of God that I was able to write such a song.

Here is the video of the song when I sang it at church. My voice is actually not good during that time, and I was very emotional as well. hehe
