You bled and died on the cross to save us
And even the surrounding angry mob
Yet they mocked, scorned You
Every time I look up to the cross
Lord, I pray
Help me to be kind
So other’s unkindness only triggers my kindness
Your heart went out to the widow of Nain
Who was mourning his only son’s death
You said to him and he sat up
Every time I look up to the cross
Lord, I pray
Help me to sympathize
So other’s broken hearts also break my own heart
You were sold out by Your close friend
Who was betraying the Son with a kiss
Yet You still called him “friend”
Every time I look up to the cross
Lord, I pray
Help me to forgive
So other’s betrayal only delivers my forgiveness
Lord, I pray
Help this incomplete child
A little closer to completeness
Help this imperfect child
A little closer to perfection
Cleanse Adam’s gene in me
With the holy blood in You
