What a priceless gift, of undeserved life.

To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of it's suffering I do drink
Of it's work I do sing

For on it my Savior both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love
And God is just

At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

What a priceless gift, undeserved life
Have I been given
Through Christ crucified

You’ve called me out of death
You’ve called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross I’m reconciled

In awe of the cross I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love and
How great is Your faithfulness


These lyrics absolutely astound me. They're so beautiful, so powerful, and of course, so true. Jesus has called us out of death, into life, a gift that we could never have paid for, that was given to us for free. And very undeserved is this new life Christ has given us. But He gave it to us nonetheless. How amazing is that?

This song shot into my head after today. Specifically the second verse, calling out of death into life. Gah, that's so amazing. We are reconciled through his cross! And it says we do of the suffering of the Cross we do drink, and we do everyday, through all the sins of everyone throughout the world. But God has died so we can be apart from that. We are sweetly broken at His knees, and He picks us up and carries us in His arms. The world may hurt us, but He has us...
