It's More Than Just a Symbol
It’s more than just a symbol,
For it frees lost souls from sin;
The cross on old Mount Calvary
Gives peace, from God, within.
It’s more than just a symbol,
For a symbol cannot save;
It surely is reality
That Christ his life, free, gave.
It’s more than just a symbol,
For it fills the law for us;
It frees us from the curse of sin
And raiseth us from dust.
It’s more than just a symbol,
For the curse was borne for me:
My Saviour at that place of shame
Was hanged upon a tree.
It’s more than just a symbol,
For adoption came by One
Who hung upon a cursed tree:
The Father’s only Son.
It’s more than just a symbol,
It’s salvation full and free;
Reality of Jesus’ blood
Has paid the debt for me.
