Cradle to the Cross

Another original song on Christmas and the Cross. Had the honor of having this recorded by Justin Hill Ministries years ago. This is my own production ... hope you enjoy it!

What could make the maker of all things,
Lay aside his glory and his splendor;
To amaze both shepherd boys and kings,
In a shameless show of love's surrender.

Born in the form of our helplessness and hope,
Showing us the depths of his heart.

Why did he come to rescue me,
Why did he pay that dreadful cost,
Caring to seek and save the lost;
Such love that even I fin'lly realized:
He bore my sin and shame and loss,
Walking that lonely road from Cradle to the Cross!

Second birth of innocence on earth,
Yet His heart was destined to be broken.
Come to take the judgment I deserved,
In a day the heavens would be shaken.

He came to us, in our helplessness and hope,
Showing us the depths of his love.

Why did he come to rescue me,
Why did he pay that dreadful cost,
Caring to seek and save the lost;
Such love that even I fin'lly realized:
He bore my sin and shame and loss,
Walking that lonely road from Cradle to the Cross!

All my life, I could wonder why
He loved me at so great a cost,
Choosing that lonely road from cradle to the Cross.
