The Shadow of the Cross

As I walk I see a shadow -- the shadow of a cross;
For Calvary still casts a shadow for those would suffer loss.
Near the cross is no place for a name --
Not prestige or gain; not power or fame.
The cross is the beginning of freedom; it's the end of strife.
It is the death of self; the beginning of life.
An old rugged cross many have carried --
They were scorned and mocked; some crucified and buried.
But only one sinless Lamb gave His life in pure love;
His name is Jesus, God's gift from above.
So, it is in the shadow of His cross that I seek to abide;
To be shaped and formed, not just carry wood by my side.
It is His message of love that is seen in the cross.
And that is why I desire to live in the "Shadow of the Cross."
