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.
