This morning I find myself thinking about the cross. If it were not for the cross I wouldn't even be having this thought process! I am in awe yet again of the kindness, mercy, grace and love of our God. Thinking about the cross and what was accomplished there makes me desire to serve the Lord with all I have... Lord, please help me walk through this day with the desire to die to self and live for you.

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

See, from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Words and Music by Isaac Watts
