REALIZE THE CROSS...

Gazing at the cross of Christ,
my conscience to indict.
(Though from the very same, the soul
of me is given light.)
As it is in vision,
solitaire upon that hill,
that busiest of terminal
is bidden to be still.

The fatalist humility.....
the lashes that He bore.....
the piercing of His loving hands.....
the crown of thorns He wore.....
And though the greatest victory
has come out of it all,
the man that is the man of me,
upon his knees must fall!

Assuredly, through Jesus Christ,
I have the victory.
But I must ne'er discount the full
effects of Calvary:
There, Him Who so became a man
did what this man could not
and, thanks to His true selflessness,
eternal life I've got.


Realize the Cross...
Is the whole possible?
Whether or not,
we must take at least
a few days to attempt it.
In HIS Service,
Jim Busby
