“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 ESV
See the Cross on Mount Calvary
Where the Savior died for me
Born for such a time as this
Betrayed with an unholy kiss
The promise from the beginning
Our heavenly Father’s best offering
Despised, rejected, this cornerstone
Desires to make each heart His throne
Jesus crucified on that terrible tree
Suffered the wrath meant for me
The chief of all sinners that I am
Mercy yet flows from the Son of Man
Love opens the borrowed grave
Grace upon grace ever saves
Now I await my Lord’s soon return
The hopeful prize I did not earn
See the Cross on Mount Calvary
Where the Savior died for you and me
Christ lifted high for all who see
By His wounds we are forever set free!
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:18-21 ESV
