BEYOND THE CROSS

Jesus looked beyond the cross ... He saw you and me

He saw our faces so sad and in need 

So He willing went to the cross, to the tree

Jesus, You saw my need ...You saw my sin seed

You saw my need, so Your gave Your life for me

You went to the cross, to the cross for me

Jesus, You cried out on that day...

"My God! My God!  Why have You forsaken Me?"

"Why are You so far from Me?"

Then He saw our faces so sad and in need

So He willingly gave His life for you and me!

Jesus looked beyond the cross... He saw you and me

He saw our faces so sad and in need 

So He willing went to the cross, to the tree

Now He is our Resurrected King!

We praise You, Lord Jesus, for bringing back the keys!
