Looking On Him Who I Pierced...

Red Mountain Church - At the Cross (Alas, And Did My Savior Bleed)

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 

6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it [b]robbery to be equal with God, 

7 but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant,

 and coming in the likeness of men. 

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself 

and became obedient to the point of death, 

even the death of the cross.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him 

and given Him the name which is above every name, 

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, 

of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 

11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.

Phil.2:5-8

Rise, Ye Children of Salvation

Where our failures fuel woe

Restitutions rivers flow

Grace, through glory’s dreaded feat

Crowns faith’s cross with joy complete

See His Hands, nail-scar engraved

Love declares the sinner saved

All who repent and believe

Will salvation’s gift receive

Not by works so none can boast

Not by wealth of worldly toast

This salvation we applaud

Is redemption’s gift from God

Let love’s tears of sorrow spill

Down Golgotha’s bloodstained hill

Kiss and wash His nail-pierced feet

With love’s perfume bittersweet

Stricken, sight esteemed Him dead

While He crushed the serpent’s head

While for our ransom He

Hung till death upon that tree

Wound on wound, the King of kings

Did not rue His sufferings

Did not curse the bitter fruit

Of the tree from Jesse’s root

But with love’s humility

Jesus paid sin’s penalty

Hate, in its most crucial fling

Pierced grace and mercy’s wellspring

‘It is finished’ won the fight

Pierced the darkness with True Light

Rent the veil that hung between

What Now IS and what had been

Where this world runs rife with woe

Redemption's rivers still flow

Grace, through glory’s misery

Crowns life's race with victory
