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!
