Here’s a little something to start your day out right. I have heard this song a lot lately, and I really lilke it. It is called “Before the Cross” and it was written by Jon Payne of Sovereign Grace Ministries (© 2003 Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP)). A clip of the song can be found here. Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1
My Savior’s sacrifice paid for all my sin
So in my suffering I look to the cross again
No need, no want, no trial, no pain
Can compare to this
The wrath of God, once meant for me
Was all spent on Him

Chorus
Before the Cross, I humbly bow
I place my trust in the Savior
Your finished work captures my gaze
You bore the wrath, I know the grace

Verse 2
In my darkest hour, Your presence is my peace
In my days of joy, Your grace carries me
Jesus, my Great High Priest
The One who pleads for me
My heart is filled with faith in You
Here at Calvary on my knees

Of course, it’s better with the music, but I know bupkis about music and putting the chords here would only confuse me.
