Miss Leah's Musings

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.
