The Wondrous Cross (poem)


As I look to the Cross

And see Him hung by fettered nails

I wonder, “Was justice given?” 

As I look to the foot of the Cross

And see His pool of crimson blood

I wonder, “Was atonement given?”

As I look to the top of the Cross

And see a sign proclaiming Him king

I wonder, “Was honor given?”

As I look to the left of the Cross

And see all my unrepentant sins

I wonder, “Was mercy given?”

As I look to the right of the Cross

And see all my penitent sins

I wonder, “Was pardon given?”

As I look to His open arms on the Cross

And see His innocent eyes looking at me

I know, “His love was fully given.”

As I bow in the eternal-light of the Cross

And see His Grace now covering me

I know, “I am forgiven!”
