Upon the Cross

Upon the Cross You held my nails
While in my sin I died.
You held the wrath and drank the flames
Of Fury, satisfied.
Your blood did flow—my stones did fly
At Steven as he died.
And yet Your suff'ring arms did fly
And Heaven opened wide!

Oh! God of mercy! God of grace!
Upon my cross You died!
You held my nails (all marked for me)
And with my pain You died!
For all that upon Thee did fall
To fury satisfy
Thy righteousness had aimed at me
And in my path You died!

Oh, Heav'n-sent Savior! God Alone!
With tears of strength You died!
Upon the cross deserved by me
By all my life You've tried,
By all the wickedness I've done,
My Jesus hung and died!
Upon my cross of wickedness
My Jesus satisfied!

To Heaven's Savior—God above—
All glory and all praise!
For He, in all His majesty
Turns back my wicked ways.
He is my shield and righteousness!
God's Truth is my new Way!
For on the cross at Calvary
He opened Heaven's Way!

(Where a brother-in-law of Pastor Winters is an elder),
preceeding knowledge of the attack at First Baptist Maryville.
