112. Life In A Look

There’s life in a look at the sacred cross,
Jesus has said, “Look unto me;”
Earth with its riches is only dross,
Bright treasures beyond in the cross I see.

CHORUS
In a look…. there’s life for thee,
In a look…… at Calvary,
Blessed thought,…… salvation free,
By a look…… at Calvary.

When first to the Saviour I raised my eyes,
Sweet was the smile that fell on me;
Oft as the clouds of temptation rise,
A look at the cross still my strength shall be.

I’ll look to the cross ev’ry day and hour,
Trusting the promise God has given;
None ever fall neath the tempter’s power,
Who trust and obey in the strength of Heaven.
