by Pastor Craig Schill

At the foot of the cross we are equal –
a king
or a queen;
pastor, parishioner, grandparent, or teen.

Every nation and tribe, people, and tongue;
all of us equal in God’s steadfast love.

At the foot of the cross we have the same past.
Once dead, we sinned, rebelled, and transgressed.

The judgment of God was coming our way;
ugly sins to be weighed and judged on that Day.

But God in His mercy

But God in His love

But God in His grace

Sent His Son from above

And we cursed Him, we hurt Him, He died on a cross.
How could He love us? Still seek the lost?

At the foot of the cross we are equal, you see –
We have the same past, and we’ve all been set free.

Not by works, nor by might, not by some clever plan;
Life is a gift from God’s grace – we now understand –

We are unified – all on a mission – as one
This is God’s longing
that we serve His Son;

in unity, harmony, oneness embraced;
masterpieces all – new creations of grace.

At the foot of the cross we are equal –
a king
or a queen;
Pastor, parishioner, grandparent, or teen.
Every nation, and tribe, people, and tongue;

All of us equal in God’s steadfast love.
