Author: Michael Saward (born 1932) Hymnal: HTC #548 (1987) Meter: 6.6.11 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the cross of shame,
set my cold heart aflame
with love for you, my saviour and my master;
who on that lonely day
bore all my sins away,
and saved me from the judgement and disaster.
2 Lord of the empty tomb,
born of a virgin's womb,
triumphant over death, its power defeated;
how gladly now I sing
your praise, my risen king,
and worship you, in heaven's splendour seated.
3 Lord of my life today,
teach me to live and pray
as one who knows the joy of sins forgiven;
so may I ever be,
now and eternally,
one with my fellow-citizens in heaven. Topics: God's Church Commitment and Character; Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross; Easter The Resurrection of Christ; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF SHAME
