Looking To The Cross
by Nick Mott

Album: Songs From A Broken Heart

Why do you love me like you love me?
How can you love someone who was your enemy?
Why is your love uncompromising?
How did you favour turn to one so undeserving?
'Cos Lord without your grace
I know that I would face
Eternity away
In that place of suffering and shame

In your being you are holy
Your holiness demand I live in purity
Obedience and adoration
but yet I've only lived a life of enmity
True justice must prevail
When the wages of sin is only death and hell
So how is it that you remain
A righteous God and a loving King?

Looking to the cross I see your love displayed
Your Justice satisfied, Your Righteousness prevails
Jesus suffered in my place He took my guilt and shame
On the tree...

How can your grace be never-ending?
Won't your patience ever fail?
Will you overlook my failings
And always forgive all of my backsliding?
In your strength I'm always striving
For godly thoughts and a life that loving
But so often the Devil and my own sinful heart
Cause me to turn away and ignore your loving grace.
