I Cling To The Cross

A Christian song by Paul Baloche. In Ephesians 2:11-17, we read as Paul reminds the church in Ephesus that they who were Gentiles, have now been brought near by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13). For what Jesus did on the cross when He shed His blood and died in our stead of our sins, has brought us peace and reconciled us to God. (Ephesians 2:16). And the message of the cross which speaks of God's great love for us, has brought us access to the Father by one Spirit - there is neither Jew nor Gentile any longer.

We cling to the cross which Jesus died upon, because it is God's means for our salvation. And we cling with a thankful heart for it was God's great love and mercy for us that held Him on the cross. We cling in awe at the power of God in raising Jesus from death to life, thus conquering death and nullifying its sting (1 Corinthians 15:55-56). And we live in light of the cross as we die to our old selves and live anew as redeemed people under an awesome and almighty King. We cling to the cross.
