True Love Celebrated


He left a throne in heaven to come to Bethlehem;
I will not forget the way He loved me even then.
And everywhere He traveled He spoke with words of love
That said He'd go to any distance to show what I was worthy of.
And when at last the dusty road had turned to Calvary,
He picked up a rugged burden so one day I would see.

He loved me with a cross. He loved me with a cross.
In answer to the call of love, He loved me with a cross.
Though I could not imagine what knowing me would cost,
Jesus went to Calvary and loved me with a cross.

He knew from the beginning the price He'd have to pay,
for my heart had gone so far beyond what other loves forgave.
I wasn't on that hillside to see Him on the tree,
But as my guilt was upon Him I know that somehow He saw me.
And I would be a sinner enslaved by all my sin
If it hadn't been for Jesus and the way He loved me then.

He loved me with a cross. He loved me with a cross.
In answer to the call of love, He loved me with a cross.
Though I could not imagine what knowing me would cost,
Jesus went to Calvary and loved me with a cross.

Lyrics by Joel Lindsey and Sue Smith

Hey Kristin!

I actually don't know where you can hear the music to this song. I found the lyrics in a music book that a friend from church lent me so I could practice a piece out of it that I will be accompanying him on. Sorry I'm not much help on this one!

You might try a Google search...
