the scandal of Christ’s cross

the outrageous judgment
the abundant love
the extravagant gift
the scandal of Christ’s cross
choosing death, for us,
God on the tree
God came from heaven
to set each one free
free to choose
to turn our back on Jesus
but that’s just another nail
in our own coffin
the abundant love
the outrageous judgment
the scandal of Christ’s cross
weighing upon us
