Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
The Lord Jesus Christ will give us victory over the flesh when we surrender our all to Him.
I glory in the cross because (as another song says) “When He Was On The Cross, I Was On His Mind”.
Thank you, Jesus, for sacrificing yourself for my sins on that cruel cross.
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
________________________________________________
When I survey the wondrous cross — On which the Prince of glory died, — My richest gain I count but loss, — And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, — Save in the death of Christ my God! — All the vain things that charm me most, — I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet, — Sorrow and love flow mingled down! — Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, — Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine, — That were a present far too small; — Love so amazing, so divine, — Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Isaac Watts 1707
