STRETCHED ON THE CROSS, CHRIST JESUS DIED
Don Fortner
(Tune:
When I Survey #118 LM)
Stretched
on the cross, Christ Jesus died,
For
guilty sinners crucified;
From
His dear hands, His feet, His side,
Flowed
forth the saving, crimson tide!
That
saving stream from Cal'vry flows
To save
and cleanse His rebel foes;
Though
we deserve God's endless wrath,
Christ
Jesus took our place in death!
He
passed the fallen angels by,
But
came for chosen men to die;
Christ
took our sins, He took our place,
He died
for us – Amazing grace!
Behold
the scene of pain and woe;
God's
justice, grace and wisdom know:
God found a way to save His own -
He sacrificed His darling Son!
