The Cross was Built to Save

The features that I see

carved into the cross

span the globe a thousand times

encompassing the lost

the sum of populations

will someday coincide

with the depth of Gods great love

that draws us by his side

these timeless deep impressions

so honestly concede

the frail human condition

found in Adams seed

believing in the savior

who opened up His grave

will pass us into glory

through the cross God built to save

planted in the earthen mound

this simple wooden frame

gave freedom to humanity

who lived their lives in shame

the stripes, the nails, the crown the cries

left marks from sea to sea

for all who will embrace his name

and the cross God built to save
