look away to the cross

Look away to the cross of the Crucified One,

where he purchased salvation for you;

when he laid down his life, and completed the work

that the Father had sent him to do.




Room at the cross, there is room at the cross,

and a welcome that all may receive;

there is room at the cross of the Crucified One,

and redemption for all who believe.




Look away to the cross of the Crucified One,

to the cross where he suffer'd and bled;

and today he invites you to come if you will,

and be cleansed in the blood that he shed.




Look away to the cross of the Crucified One,

where the winepress alone he hath trod;

where he cried in his anguish, 'Tis finish'd, 'tis done!'

And commended his Spirit to God.




There is life at the cross of the Crucified One,

and its hope is abiding and sure;

for the rapture that flows from the love he bestows

shall for ever and ever endure. ......
