Jesus - Upon the Cross

Jesus died
He gave His life
and took your sins
Upon the cross
at Calvary

He came to Earth
to pay the price
Walked the road
for you
Upon the cross
at Calvary

He taught
He healed
He loved
He showed The Way
to life eternal
Upon the cross
at Calvary

And you -
you, who He died for
you, who He healed
you who He loved
and loves still -


Have you Accepted His love
His healing
His teaching
His Way

Have you Believed
He died for you
He took your sins
and gave you a new life?

Have you Committed
to turn away from your old life
and turn to Jesus?


The Apostle Paul tells us in II Corinthians 5:17: "...if anyone is in Christ, he is a anew creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 

Beginning in Ephesians 4:17 and following, Paul reminds us that we are to "put off our former conduct ... to be renewed in the spirit of our mind ... to put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness ... to put away lying, to speak truth ... to not go to bed angry ... to not steal ... to not use corrupt words..." Verses 31-32 tells us: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and evil speaking  be put away from you, with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."
