The cross of love: <br />The cross I love: <br />The cross I'd loved all life; <br />The wooden cross: <br />The holy cross: <br />The cross that bore man's strife. <br /> <br />The oaken cross: <br />The heavy cross: <br />The cross Jesus carried; <br />The cross on which <br /> Christ Lord was nailed: <br />And bore man's sins indeed. <br /> <br />The cross of death: <br />The blood-stained cross: <br />The Savior, man, redeemed; <br />The cross of life's <br />Victory o'er death: <br />That souls on earth must heed.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-song-to-the-holy-cross/
