Thursday at the Cross - Maryland

Power of the Cross

Stuart Townsend and Keith Getty 

Oh, to see the dawn Of the darkest day:

Christ on the road to Calvary.

Tried by sinful men,

Torn and beaten, then

Nailed to a cross of wood.

This, the power of the cross:

Christ became sin for us,

Took the blame, bore the wrath:

We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain

Written on Your face

Bearing the awesome weight of sin;

Every bitter thought,

Every evil deed

Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

Now the daylight flees,

Now the ground beneath

Quakes as its Maker bows His head.

Curtain torn in two,

Dead are raised to life;

'Finished!' the victory cry.

Oh, to see my name

Written in the wounds,

For through Your suffering I am free.

Death is crushed to death,

Life is mine to live,

Won through Your selfless love.

This, the power of the cross:

Son of God, slain for us.

What a love! What a cost!

We stand forgiven at the cross.

Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church

in Silver Springs, Maryland. 

 What a beautiful facility of all wood and

lovely grounds full of spring time flowers and growth!

 There was a lot of attention to detail. 

 I believe these are pink dogwood blooms.

But I could totally be wrong. 

 Yeah.  No idea.

Just a few more days until Easter, the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and King.
