To Jesus and the Cross

To Jesus and the Cross

The love of God fell to the ground and died,

but from that brokenness, new love has grown

because that seed could not abide alone,

and now so many in Christ's life abide

that many more unreached can now decide

if we go where the Gospel is unknown

and show them how our love is not our own,

but is our Savior's, for we are His Bride.

Our love shall fall into the ground and die

when we believe on Jesus, count the cost,

and be to every ear and every eye

a witness of the Gospel to the lost

so when they see our love and ask us why,

we can lead them to Jesus and the Cross.
