A Picture of the Cross - song & lyrics by Byron Millison 1995

The words of a song written by my brother Byron Millison back in 1995.  A Stark reminder of what Jesus endured to buy our Redemption. 


A PICTURE OF THE CROSS


#1:

Flesh hanging from His body, blood rolling to the ground,

Rusty nails piercing His hands, and a crown of thorns shoved on His brow;

Splinters digging into His body, and His lungs gasping for air,

Hanging naked upon a rugged cross, the arm of the Lord made bare.


Cho:


It's a picture of the Cross that we all need to see,

It's the sacrifice Jesus made for you and me;

It's a picture of the cross that we all need to know,

The sacrifice of love, given us by God, so He could bring us home.


#2:

The sky turned black as night in the middle of the day,

And the veil was torn in two, as Jesus passed away;

At His final breath, His spirit left, as He gave up the ghost,

And the heavens rang, with a mournful cry, sung by the Heavenly host.


#3:

But the story doesn't end there, as the devil would have you believe,

You see my Jesus Christ - even tho He was crucified - stayed buried until just day 3;

And on that third glorious morn, He rose up from the grave,

Oh, praise God forever, He's coming to gather all His children away.
