The cross gives me strength

The tears from the cross flow like rivers

Easing my suffering and pain

Washing away the anger

Bringing me peace again

I know that my Father weeps with me

He sees my heart broke in two

He clears the cloud of depression

Letting the joy break through

He gives me a place of seclusion

Where I can find peace of mind anytime

He blocks all the blows from Satan

Surrounding me with love sublime

My life is in turmoil and crisis

And Satan would have me give in

But the Lord has a purpose and plan for me

And will not let me suffer from sin

I feel His love and peace fill me

And that love in abundance o’er flows

And I pour out my love and forgiveness

Deflecting the enemies blows

For I’m filled with a love and compassion

Where no seed of bitterness grows

And I know that Satan’s defeated

I know the victories won

He tried to break me in pieces

But the cross gives me strength to go on.

1Pe 5:8
