The Love of the Cross

I was so far away from the love of the cross.
Life was broken and in my shame, I forgot your grace.
But you came close to me touched my poor hardened heart.
Then restore me to stand again to love you for evermore

Refrain
Keep me under the shadow your wings of love my strength
I belong I’m precious in your sight A chosen child of God

Forgetting former things not dwelling on the past
placing behind me all that’s gone And all that I have done.
Your release rivers flow in the dry desert place
I lift my eyes to see the Lord I find He makes all things new
