We are humbled by the Cross

We are humbled by the Cross
when we face the reality
that nothing but Christ’s death
could heal our brokenness

We are thankful for the cross
for Christ’s victory Friday,
this is a part of the hosannas
our shouts of praise

We are humbled by Christ’s choice
to claim the cross for us
to choose to walk through Gethsemane
to the hill of Calvary

We are thankful for the sacrifice
for God’s great gift of grace,
but it was not finished until Easter
when Christ rose from that grave.
