3.12.10 SOtheD - "Oh the Cross" (Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - "Declare Your Name" CD)

I've decided to add a Song of the Day (SOtheD) each day to this blog. This way, if you'd like to subscribe, you can listen to and contemplate the words to one great song every day - perhaps a song you've never heard before. Usually on my way into work I hear a song that sticks with me throughout the day. Today the SOtheD is "Oh the Cross" sung by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - enjoy!

Oh the Cross

My longing for love wouldn’t go away
I was desperate, searching, broken by pain
Looking for answers but nothing seemed right
Where was my answer, what was my life?
Blinded by sin I was lost, deceived
Until I turned my eyes to Calvary

Oh the cross where Jesus died
He shed His blood, gave His life for you and I
My sins erased, no longer lost
My debt was paid, I am saved
Oh the cross

Day after day as I live my life
I find heartache, trouble, battles to fight
When fear tries to grip me and I feel alone
My Jesus is with me
I’m not on my own
Now I can say in my heart I believe
My life has been changed because of Calvary

Oh the cross where Jesus died
He shed His blood, gave His life for you and I
My sins erased, no longer lost
My debt was paid, I am saved
Oh the cross
