THE CALL OF THE CROSS

There's a call that rings out from a cross on Calvary
It's rang forth throughout the years.
It beckons you and me to follow Jesus
For only he can give peace and calm our fears

It's a call of true allegiance
Allegiance to the spotless lamb that was slain
Only when we stand and heed his call
Can we the cleansing power of its blood claim

Best of all the call is a call of love
Unconditional, all accepting love for you and me
A love that when we accept Him
Makes Jesus our Lord, our Savior, our King

The call can be as loud as a resounding trumpet
Or as soft as a gentle Spring breeze
All God desires for us to do
Is to follow the example of the crucified thief

Answer His call today
Open your heart and let Christ in
And the assurance of an eternal life
In Heaven with Jesus you will win.
