Gospel/Christian Bible-based songs

Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song

Lyrics

The Cross of Christ
CCLI Song No. 4556961
Key: C

Chorus
In the cross of Christ I revel,
My heart overflows with joy.
Jesus paid the ransom for my soul.
He conquered death and hell
And now lives forevermore.
Through His sacrifice I am made whole.

 
Verse 1
There is no greater love 
Than in the cross of Christ.
He laid down His own life on Calvary.  
There is no other way
Than through the cross of Christ
To the Father and to life eternally.

Verse 2
It was the Father’s plan
They nail Jesus to the cross.
Wicked men did carry out the task so grim.
Freely Jesus gave His life
When He died on the cross.
Freely we should give our lives to Him.

Verse 3
God reconciled all creation
Through the cross;
Making peace through the blood that Jesus shed.
Once we were God’s enemies,
But now through Jesus’ cross
We can come before the Father without dread.

Verse 4
After Jesus we must follow
And take up our cross,
Deny ourselves and for Him only live. 
May we daily dwell
Under the shadow of the cross.
To Jesus Christ ourselves we wholly give.

Verse 5
Go and preach the gospel
In the power of the cross,
Trusting in God’s mighty strength alone.
Apart from Him we can do nothing;
We cannot add to the cross.
To all peoples we must make the good news known.
