You bled and died on the cross to save us And even the surrounding angry mob Yet they mocked, scorned You Every time I look up to the cross Lord, I pray Help me to be kind So other’s unkindness only triggers my kindness Your heart went out to the widow of Nain Who was mourning his only son’s death You said to him and he sat up Every time I look up to the cross Lord, I pray Help me to sympathize So other’s broken hearts also break my own heart You were sold out by Your close friend Who was betraying the Son with a kiss Yet You still called him “friend” Every time I look up to the cross Lord, I pray Help me to forgive So other’s betrayal only delivers my forgiveness Lord, I pray Help this incomplete child A little closer to completeness Help this imperfect child A little closer to perfection Cleanse Adam’s gene in me With the holy blood in You |
