LET US SEE OUR CROSSES AS JEWELS
In the message of the cross, we are seen as fools.
But those of us now being saved see the cross as only jewels.
We proclaim Christ crucified—to the Jews a stumbling block.
In our crosses we find but power, our fortress, and our rock.
In His arms we are secure. On His rock, firm we stand.
Never to be abandoned. Ever guided by His hand.
So let us cling now to our crosses, as to jewels Christ sends our way.
Let us see in each cross true wisdom, that we be not led astray.
Let us lift each cross in glory, and as we do let us pray,
Our loved ones will see as jewels each cross in their lives today.
(Based on 1 Cor 1:18, 22-25)
This is beautiful Mary Anne, a new way for me to look at the Cross. Thank you. Carrying this cross has truly brought me closer to Christ. God bless.
