Cross of our Curse

“If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree… bury him that day, for he that is hanged is accursed of God” (Deuteronomy 21:22,23).  “One generation shall praise Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts” (Psalm 145:4).  “Neither is there salvation in any other:  for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).  “All have sinned… the wages of sin is death” (Romans 3:23, 6:23).  “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:  for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree” (Galatians 3:13). 

We’re guilty!  This charge unmistakably clear

Confirms we are worthy of spiritual death!

Though many do not have the good sense to fear,

Our judgment draws closer with each fleeting breath! 

Praise God for His work that provides an exemption

That sinners may claim, from the least to the worst!

Our Lord on the cross has accomplished redemption

To rescue our souls that were fearfully cursed!

One generation declares to another

The great acts accomplished by our precious Lord!

The name that will save us is Christ, and no other,

No matter how long and how far we’ve explored.

O Lord, we are speechless, for what can we say

For what You have done to redeem us from loss?

It was for OUR judgment You suffered that way,

Becoming a curse for our sakes on the cross!
