When I see a blood stained cross
I see my Jesus dying for me,
If it had not been a Calvary,
What would happen to you and me?



But we praise God the Cross is empty
And wait patiently for His returning,
He sends His love from up on high,
We will meet Him in the by and by.



God promised that He would be with us
Every promise in His word is true,
God's word says, He will never leave us,
His love and grace will see us through.



So when you feel all hope is gone
And you are feeling down and sad,
All we need to do is trust in Him,
He will always make you glad.

Then Jesus said to His disciples,
If anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself and
take up his cross and follow me.
Matthew 16:24
