From the Archives: He Stayed on the Cross

They nailed the hands of Jesus to the Cross

And pierced His feet to hold Him to the tree.

My heart cries out, “Why would the Son of God stay hanging there

And die disgraced in pain and agony?”

The soldiers scoffed, “Come down if You’re the Christ.

If You be God, Then prove Your word is true.”

Though tempted thus, He stayed upon that cruel

Cross and prayed,

“Forgive them, Lord they know not what they do.”

It was His love for you and me, and not the nails,

That held the Savior on that awful, cruel tree.

It was His love, and not the nails, that kept Him there.

Though challenged, too, by jeering crowds,

He stayed and won the victory!

He stayed and conquered death and hell

For you and me on Calvary!

—Eugene L. Clark

Author of the famous song

"Nothing is Impossible"

Through You,

I can do anything,

I can do all things,

'Cause it's You who give(s) me strength,

Nothing is impossible

Through You,

Blind eyes are opened,

Strongholds are broken,

I am living by faith,

Nothing is impossible!

I'm not gonna live by what I see,

I'm not gonna live by what I feel

Deep down I,

Know that You're here with me

I know that, You can do anything

I believe, I believe,

I believe, I believe in You
