On That Cross
Flame Lyrics

When you were on that cross
Reflecting on the sacrifice of Christ on the cross

I can't believe you died for me
Gratitude and awe for Christ's willingness to die for humanity

Oh Lord you gave me eyes to see
Thankfulness for the spiritual insight given by Christ

When I was lost
Acknowledgement of being spiritually lost without Christ

You showed me which way to go
Recognition of Christ's guidance and direction

Oh Lord you even saved my soul
Awareness of salvation and redemption through Christ

Yes, the Lord reigns robed in majesty
Acknowledgement of God's sovereignty and greatness

The mountains melt like wax
Depiction of the power and majesty of God

Before the Lord cause He's Holy and it has to be
Affirmation of the holiness and purity of God

Nothing but pure reverence
Recollection of the awe and respect due to God

By His wisdom and understanding He stretched out the heavens
Recognition of God's power and intelligence in creation

Who can endure His presence?
Wonder at the majesty and awesomeness of God

Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation
Exhortation to praise and worship God

We praise Him with all that we've got
Acknowledgment of giving praise and honor to God wholeheartedly

Even the seas roar
Recognition of the power and vastness of God's creation

Let the trees of the forest sing for joy as the rivers clap before the Lord
Personification of nature rejoicing before God

In case you've ever wondered
Bringing attention to a significant question

Why was it all done?
Reflecting on the reason and purpose for Christ's sacrifice

My Lord the stars moon and sun
Acknowledging that all of creation declares God's greatness

Even the skies testify to your greatness
Recognition of God's majesty even in the vastness of the universe

Revelation 4:11 praise for all your creation
Biblical reference to giving God praise for His creation

It's all for your glory
Understanding that everything is ultimately for the glorification of God

Through your infinite power
Recognizing God's boundless strength and authority

Your intricate skill is seen through a blossoming flower
Marveling at the intricacy and beauty of God's creation

But yet Father you were pleased to bruise your own Son
Acknowledging God's willingness to sacrifice His own Son for humanity's redemption

So that sinners could come and be redeemed
Understanding the purpose for Christ's sacrifice

We spend a lifetime looking for satisfaction in wrong places
Awareness of the failure to find true fulfillment outside of Christ

But a blind man embraces whatever catch his fall
Recognizing the tendency to cling to what seems secure when lost

But if he's spiritually blind and can't see that he's falling
Acknowledging the inability to recognize spiritual blindness without Christ

Then quite naturally this cat a keep bumping into walls
Describing the continuous cycle of mistakes without Christ's guidance

But if a man who was also God offered him sight
Offer of spiritual insight by Christ

Said he could save him from his behavior and sorry plight
Acknowledging the ability of Christ to save from negative patterns

And give him eyes to see the beauty of God the creator
Depiction of spiritual insight to see God's creation

Would he take Him by faith and stop putting up a fight?
Questioning the choice to have faith in Christ or continue resisting

Would he fall to the ground with his face to the pavement?
Depiction of humility and worship before God

Just to worship the man who was God making His payment
Understanding that Christ paid the price for humanity's sins

For the sin he was born in that made him blind
Acknowledgment of the sinful nature of humanity

And the debt he accumulated for loving lying
Recognition of the debt owed for sins committed

And bringing peace between the one in which he has beef
Reference to Christ's ability to bring reconciliation with God

And sins against every week when he's hugging the streets
Depiction of living in sin on a daily basis

And bring him close by the power of the Holy Ghost
Depiction of the Holy Spirit's power to draw close to God through Christ

The same God who crushed His son 2000 years ago
Recognition of God's willingness to sacrifice His Son for humanity's redemption

Every step Jesus took on the way to Golgotha
Depiction of the path to the cross

Echoed throughout the universe - for you Father
Understanding that Christ's sacrifice was for God's glory

For the glory of God is of infinite worth
Recognition of the value of God's glory and worth

And his death'll justify many and bring new birth
Understanding that Christ's death brings justification and new life

And every blow to His hands every thrust to his side
Referring to the physical agony Christ endured on the cross

Every heave on the cross is for the glory of God
Acknowledgement that even Christ's agonies were for God's glory

And now the murderer the prostitute and even the thug
Understanding that Christ's redemption is for all humanity

And average person can now be cleansed by blood?
Wondering at the power of Christ's sacrifice to cleanse all from sin
