Season 6 of Hymnology continues with O Mighty Cross, a modern hymn reflecting on the power and beauty of Christ’s sacrifice. Each verse points us back to Calvary, where our sinless Lord was lifted high, bearing our guilt and shame so that we might be set free. Though the cross was once a symbol of suffering and death, in Christ it has become for us the tree of life.
We pray that these words remind you of the hope we have in the crucified Savior. At the cross we find peace, forgiveness, and the steadfast love that holds us. The weight of our sin is great, but the mercy of God is greater.
May this hymn lead us to worship the One who gave Himself for us and to rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
