**"Thank You for the Cross"**
*A Sacrifice of Praise*
**Verse 1:**
*The hammer fell—the nails tore deep,*
*Yet love held You to that cruel tree.*
*My sin, my shame, my endless debt,*
*You paid in full to set me free (Colossians 2:14).*
**Chorus:**
*"Thank You, Jesus! Precious Lamb!*
*No other could take my place.*
*The wrath I earned, the hell I owed—*
*You swallowed in amazing grace (1 Peter 2:24)!"*
**Verse 2:**
*The sky went black, the temple shook,*
*As Mercy’s flood burst hell’s dark doors.*
*Your final breath bought my first life—*
*Death died when Love roared, ‘IT IS FINISHED!’ (John 19:30).*
**Bridge:**
*"Now every morning I arise*
*Clothed in robes of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10).*
*Not by works, but by Your wounds—*
*Your cross my only boast (Galatians 6:14)."*
**Closing Doxology:**
*"So let my life be one long ‘THANK YOU’—*
*Hands to serve, feet to go.*
*Till heaven shouts the anthem back:*
*‘WORTHY IS THE LAMB!’ (Revelation 5:12)."*
✝️ **Scripture Foundations:**
- **Romans 5:8** – *"While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."*
- **2 Corinthians 5:21** – *"He became sin who knew no sin."*
- **1 John 3:16** – *"He laid down His life for us."*
This prayer-poem echoes from **Gethsemane’s blood-sweat to Revelation’s victory song.** May it fuel eternal gratitude!
*"The cross wasn’t just an event—it was the eternal exchange where His ‘I will’ overcame our ‘I won’t.’"* 🙌🩸
