Cross of Love
This is an instrumental cover of a Twila Paris, Steve Green song
Blood and sorrow flow
from the languid brow
of Jesus dying;
and tears from Heaven's eyes
are the anguished drops
of a Father crying,
Oh, why?
This must be a cross of love
for God to bruise His only Son.
Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us,
it had to be a cross of love!
Emblem of his pain,
(And the people jeered at Him
(and mocked His holy name)
oh splintered wood
(for they knew not who He was)
of my transgression
( nor why it was He came)
I'll never comprehend
(Some had come to offer help to soothe a mother's pain)
how an act so great
(but as she watched her wounded Son)
gave love expression
(the comfort never came)
Oh, why?
This must be a cross of love
for God to bruise His only Son.
Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us,
it had to be a cross of love!
Blood and sorrow flow
from the languid brow
of Jesus dying;
and tears from Heaven's eyes
are the anguished drops

Jesus, what a sacrifice to reach us,
it had to be a cross of love!

A Prayer to Humbly Serve This Maundy Thursday - Your Daily Prayer - March 28
Would you let Jesus wash your feet? Isn't it hard to imagine lifting our dirty toes to the King of Kings? None of us are worthy of his care and attention; yet in Christ's perfect love, he gives us nothing less. Does your human heart struggle like mine to serve others humbly as Jesus did?
