The Cross of Jesus - Harmony - Verse 2

Lyrics

1. Come, O God, renew your people,
We who long to see your face.
Strengthen hearts that have grown feeble;
Fill our lives with truth and grace.
Only you can win our freedom;
Only you can bring us peace.
Only in the cross of Jesus
Will the captives find release.

2. Deep within create a new heart;
Melt away the winter chill.
Help us now to make a new start;
Help us now to know your will.
Washed in waters of forgiveness,
Cleansed in waters of new birth,
Lead us to the cross of Jesus,
Bringing life to all the earth.

3. In the darkness that surrounds us
We have lost you from your sight.
Even though your love has found us,
We embrace the pow'rs of night.
Scatter now our deepest darkness;
Guide our hearts into the light.
Join us to the cross of Jesus,
Help us set our living right.

4. Call us forth to walk in justice;
Rescue us from sin and grave.
Through the power of your Spirit,
Breathe in us the breath that saves.
Strengthen us in our communion,
One in Word and cup and bread,
Here within the cross of Jesus,
All who hunger will be fed.
