This gospel song 'At The Cross' reminds us that Jesus came and died for us. He paid the penalty for our sins by shedding His blood at the Cross.
John 19:32-34 King James Version (KJV)
32. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
Matthew 26:28 King James Version (KJV)
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Hebrews 9:22 King James Version (KJV)
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And
did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For
such a worm as I?
Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross
where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled
away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am
happy all the day!
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—
And
bathed in its own blood—
While the firm mark of wrath
divine,
His soul in anguish stood.
Was it for crimes that I had done
He
groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love
beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And
shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For
man the creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing
face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in
thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne’er
repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself
away,
’Tis all that I can do.
