Cling to the Cross
Cling to the Cross
Abraham Piper
I cling fast to the cross that drowned
My sin in blood—in Christ’s blood.
(And I) cry aloud with a grateful sound,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Blood was in the tears that dripped when he was crowned.
You could feel him break when that hard whip unwound—
Shudder with screaming at each hammer pound.
Clinging fast to the cross that drowned
Our sin in blood—in Christ’s blood,
(Let us) cry aloud with a grateful sound,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
There’s a bloody cross set on a desert mound
And all sinners who come there to gather around
Find that salvation and hope still abound,
If you’re slipping down—Oh, here is solid ground.
And if you are in bondage—here you’ll be unbound.
If you are lost—here’s where you may be found—
Clinging fast to the cross that drowned
Our sin in blood—in Christ’s blood.
(Let us) cry aloud with a grateful sound,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I found this site to be wonderfully refreshing this morning.
Good stuff.
