Look at where you are standing
This is the place where seen and unseen are ordained to reconcile
This dirt is sacred
Right here, God spelled love in the dust with His fingertip
Remove your sandals in the presence of His signature
Look at where you are standing
Preceded by the silence between Testaments
Interrupted by fists slamming against cold altars, waiting
And what word cannot express when
The architect of existence crawls about on infant legs
Look at where you are standing
This is the place where logic and paradox embrace
Where Lord and suffering merge
Right here He determined to be broken
Grace costs so much to be given so freely and yet somehow we are considered worth the expense
Look at where you are standing
Right here at the place where He determined to be broken
It’s straight and narrow; those who find it are few
Which way will you go? Now you’ve been chosen to choose
The man of sorrows; He brought you straight to the cross – the cross
An invitation, made with arms open wide
Sweet soul salvation. The Son of God crucified
For my redemption; the price was paid at the cross – the cross
His body bruised and broken over me
He wore a crown of thorns to crown me with His glory
And without a word endured the wounds that healed me
Healed me at the cross
To those who perish, a sign of suffering and shame
And it may seem foolish that we find peace through His pain
Because we cherish the blood that flowed from the cross, the cross
His body bruised and broken over me
He wore a crown of thorns to crown me with His glory
And without a word endured the shame that saved me
Saved me at the cross
How deep the Father’s love that He would send His only son
Give His righteousness to us, how deep the Father’s love
How wide the arms of grace – on a cross He took my place
Throwing all my sins away – how wide the arms of grace
Saved me at the cross…
Suffered at the cross…
Yielded at the cross…
Saw me at the cross…
Knew me at the cross…
Loved me at the cross…
