I know in life we all go through
A lot of hurt and pain,
But we need to think of Jesus Christ
On the cross with all our shame


For as our Lord was hanging there,
He bore our sin and doubts
And the brokenness that bound our lives
As His precious blood poured out


And in the blood that flowed that day
Is forgiveness for all our sin,
For only Christ's blood is able to cleanse
The deepest stain within


But oh, the pain that He went through
In suffering on His own,
For even the Father turned His face
And He was left to die alone


We could never imagine the anguish
Jesus endured upon the cross
And the love expressed in His dying breath,
When all we did was scoff


And nothing at all we'd ever go through
Could possibly compare
To the horror that the cross portrays
Of our sin, our hurts and fears


For the cross of Christ reconciled us
To our Father God above
And the Holy Spirit empowers us
To walk in transforming love.
