Depending on Him

The life of the Christian is one of complete trust in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The believer throws himself on Jesus as the only way for salvation. Jesus is not a part of our lives, but he is our life. There are days when I am more conscious of this than at other times. Bless be the Lord that today I am very conscious of my dependence on him even while I go about my job. These thoughts were brought about by the lyrics of Before the Cross as I listened to the song on my iPod.


My Savior’s sacrifice paid for all my sin
So in my suffering I look to the cross again
No need, no want, no trial, no painCan compare to this
The wrath of God, once meant for me
Was all spent on Him

Before the Cross, I humbly bow
I place my trust in the Savior
Your finished work captures my gaze
You bore the wrath, I know the grace

In my darkest hour, Your presence is my peace
In my days of joy, Your grace carries me
Jesus, my Great High Priest
The One who pleads for me
My heart is filled with faith in You
Here at Calvary on my knees
