CAN YOU HEAR THE ECHOES?

Can you hear the echoes of the hammer falling on the wooden Cross? Can you hear them as the blood flows - the echoes of the Cross? Can you hear Him weeping as the Father turns His Face? Forsaken by earth and heaven with the nails and thorns of grace… And with every hammer blow God’s work was made complete - Our sin exchanged for His Righteousness through willing hands and feet. Can you feel the crushing weight of our sin upon His back? As He hangs in pain and nakedness while the Roman soldiers laugh... Can we ever comprehend that it pleased God to crush His Son? That through this just injustice could such a mercy come! But can you dare imagine how this wrong could be so right - Through the echoes of the Cross His death has brought us life! Oh, I cannot be silent, I cannot be still! What Christ has done for you and me still echoes from Calvary’s hill… Can you hear the echoes of the hammer falling on the wooden Cross? Can you hear them as His love flows - the echoes of the Cross! (K van der Merwe, SW Brown, R Bronniman © MAR Gospel Music Publishers, The Copyright Company, Songward Music)
