Look To The Cross Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Through faith, we’ve hope with love and care
God’s wondrous face to see
Christ pulled the plug on life’s despair
Whilst nailed upon the tree

He did it all He paid the price
He brought redemption nigh
Believers in love’s true sacrifice
Will live and never die

Through hope through faith that’s not our own
Through love and tender care
Through Christ these gifts to flesh and bone
God gives the world to share

Through sinless blood that drenched the earth
Through Jesus’ death and pain
God shows what selfless life is worth
To those who’d live in vain

Look to the cross each tortured hand
Look to those feet of old
Look to the thorns and understand
The truth that day was told

Christ knew of this ere time began
He knew our wayward path
Yet still He died for mortal man
To save him from the wrath

Believe in what the cross would tell
Believe in selfless love
The dye is cast for death and hell
Who’s faith’s in Christ above

The devil’s hand can never bar
When God’s true will is done
Who’s hope is in The Morning Star
Who’s love is in God’s Son
