He left a throne in heaven to come to Bethlehem
And I will not forget the way
He loved me even then
And everywhere He traveled
He spoke with words of love
That said He'd go to any distance
To show what I was worthy of
And when at last the dusty road
Had turned to Calvary
He picked up a rugged burden
So that one day I would see
Chorus
He loved me with a cross
He loved me with a cross
In answer to the call of love
He loved me with a cross
Though I could not imagine what
Loving me would cost
My Jesus went to Calvary
And loved me with a cross
He knew from the beginning
The price He'd have to pay
For my heart had gone so far beyond
What other loves forgave
I wasn't on that hillside
To see Him on the tree
But as my guilt was placed upon Him
I know that somehow He saw me
Chorus
And I would be a sinner still
Enslaved by all my sin
If it hadn't been for Jesus
And the way He loved me then
Chorus
It is JESUS answer to the call of love for all man kind. We are covered by the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. Jesus was all man but all Christ also. When Jesus was on the cross I was on his mind.He gave up his life they didn't take it. We deserved all the punishment that was laid on Jesus. but He loved us with the Cross
