At a time when so many people all over the world are helplessly struggling to make ends meet or coming to terms with the loss of their livelihoods, I recall something God said to me last December during worship. He said "When all else fades, can you still find Me?" I'd like to think that's a symbol of hope for the things to come, that even when everything falls apart, God is still waiting there for us to cling onto Him like a life raft. I cling to the cross, because that's the only way. I cling to the cross and everything it means Standing at the empty tomb The world behind me, the cross before meSo the IMF reckons that the world will come to an economic standstill. Indeed the future is bleak and no one dares to say when that silver lining over the horizon will rear it's shiny head. Couldn't come at a worse time for me since I'm looking for a job and those are few and far between. Fortunately I'm not one to worry and I can pretty much do a good job of entertaining myself so I'll patiently wait until a suitable position comes along.
Paul Baloche - I Cling to the Cross
I know it's the only hope there is for saving me
For without Your great mercy I would be forever lost
With a thankful heart I come
And cling to the cross
Promises I have in You arise
I was made alive in You
Everything You said was true
You suffered, died, and rose to bring us life
I cling to the cross and everything it means
I know it's the only hope there is for saving me
For without Your great mercy I would be forever lost
With a thankful heart I come (Jesus I come)
With a thankful heart I come
With a thankful heart I come and cling to the cross
The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me
No turning back, no turning back
