See the cross
It is where
He was lost
Why my father
Why did He die
Was it my sins
Was it my lie
Did I do something
To hold him there
Was it our heart
Did not we care
No my son
It was not just you
All of us
And me too
Each tall tale
Each angry look
All our sins
Yes He took
Brown and yellow
Black and white
Lifted Him up
To the height
From the beginning
With Adam’s sin
Then each of us
Again and again
Oh, my son
Do not cry
Dry those tears
And listen why
At the first
God made a plan
To send His son
To save all man
That crafty snake
Struck His heel
By tricking man
To make a deal
You will not
Surely die
Eat the fruit
You’ll get by
Separation came
With that choice
We did not heed
God’s own voice
So, you see
Do not cry
Look up here
And listen why
Adam first
Jesus last
All our sin
Now the past
Because the cross
Took His life
Now the church
Is His wife
You and I
Are free to shout
And tell the world
All about
His loving grace
That freedom brings
Listen now
As angels sing
For each lost sinner
That has come home
No more to wonder
No more to roam
Look up my son
See the cross
It is the place
Where sin was lost
