Sending my Soul back to the Cross

[MIRIAM JACOB]

Sending my Soul back to the Cross

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will take a journey

Back to the cross

It is time I surrendered all

And counted the cost



I will gaze upon the Lamb

That was slain

God laid upon Him all my iniquities,

Jesus shouldered all my blame



I will journey back to the cross

And consider the price He paid

To ransom me from sin and death

So that my soul could be saved



I will lay myself down

Beneath His bloodied, nail pierced feet

And pour out my tears of thankfulness

For dying the death that was meant for me



I will cringe at the sight of His torn flesh

And the disfigurement of His beaten face

He was clothed in my Rags of Sin

So I could be clothed in

The Fathers, Righteousness and Grace



I will take my soul back to the cross

And be crucified with Christ

I will lay myself down on the altar

And become a living sacrifice



He died my death so that I could live

My pain was healed,

when Jesus took the lashes of the whip

He took the nails and poured out His blood

So that I could live Eternally

Embraced by the Heavenly Fathers Love



With YOU and ME only on His mind,

He journeyed on the road to Calvary

He walked the road to DEATH, which SIN

Had paved for all of humanity



Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God

Worthy is the Lamb, which was slain

Who came to take away the sin of the world

And carry upon His shoulders

Mankind’s guilt and shame



For God so loved the world that

He gave His only begotten Son

Jesus cried, in the dark night of His soul

“ Father, not My will,

But Your will be done!”

Jesus could have let the cup pass

But instead He chose the nails

Now we can come boldly to the throne of God

Because His death and sacrifice, tore the veil



Because of the Love of God

Jesus remained nailed to the tree

He suffered and died in agony

So that I can now say
“O Death, Where is your Sting?”

SALVATION is mine

Jesus has removed my transgressions

And given me the freedom

To walk in VICTORY



Reconciled, sanctified and redeemed

Are those who are in CHRIST

and in HIM believe

Sin and Death are destroyed

His blood washes me clean

He paid my debt

I no longer stand guilty before God

Jesus has set me free



I will send my soul back to the cross

And be crucified with Christ

I will send my soul back to the cross

And surrender my life

I will pour out my heart before

My Saviour and Lord

And thank Jesus for paying my debt

A debt I would never have been able to afford



I will send my soul back to the cross

I will let my flesh, walk the road to Calvary

And as I walk, this will be my prayer,

MORE OF YOU JESUS and LESS OF ME



I will leave all behind

for the sake of the Gospel

And it’s Truth

I will bury my past with Christ

and roll the stone over the tomb

I will leave all I was

and all I have done

In the grave with Gods only begotten Son



Jesus rose again on the third day

and conquered death

Triumphantly, He broke through the gates of hell

And bruised His heel on Satan’s head
I have been raised to a new LIFE in Christ

Victory is mine!

Satan has been defeated.

Jesus the Lamb of God has now become the Lion



Jesus will come again soon, in all His Glory

And split the Eastern sky

His angels will declare

“Worthy is the Lamb of God”

and His name will be lifted on high!



One day I will see my Saviour

and Lord, face to face

Because in Jesus I trusted, believed

and received Gods Mercy and Grace
One day the Father God will embrace me

For my name is written in the book of Life

Jesus’ blood has washed me clean

ETENALLY I will LIVE

Because of the DEATH of CHRIST
