There is life for a look at the Crucified One

There is life for a look at the Crucified One

There is life at this moment for thee;

Then look

sinner

look unto Him and be saved

Unto Him who was nailed to the tree.

Look! look! look and live!

There is life for a look at the Crucified One

There is life at this moment for thee.

Oh

why was He there as the Bearer of sin

If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid?

Oh

why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood

If His dying thy debt has not paid?

It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers

But the blood

that redeemeth the soul;

On Him

then

who shed it

thou mayest at once

Thy weight of iniquities roll.

Then doubt not thy welcome

since God has declared

There remaineth no more to be done;

That once in the end of the world He appeared

And completed the work He begun.

Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once

The life everlasting He gives;

And know with assurance

thou never canst die

Since Jesus

thy Righteousness

lives.
