People of the Cross

We are the people of the Cross

We fellowship within our loss

For we know our loss is gain

For Christ has made the great exchange

We are the people of the Cross

We receive these gifts and know their cost

Faith, Adoption, justification

Sanctification reconciliation

Receive Christ, the gift of Grace

Hear and heed Him now by faith

The contrite heart he will uplift

For He Himself is the glorious gift

Now sense the Holy Spirit speak

When His Kingdom first you seek

Union with Jesus now affords 

Amazing glories and rewards

Beyond all worldly powers and wealth

Christ gives to us His Very Self

So in His presence now abide

Beneath His shelter e’er to  hide.

Receive Christ, the gift of Grace

Hear and heed Him now by faith

The contrite heart he will uplift

For He Himself is the glorious gift
