When He Was On The Cross, I Was On His Mind

The other day I tuned into a Christian radio station that plays hymns and old Christian music. I was very blessed when I heard the words of this song. They remind me just how much my Father loves me:

I’m not on an ego trip, I’m nothing on my own
I make mistakes I often slip, just common flesh and bones
But I'll prove someday, just why I say, I’m of a special kind
For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

For He knew me yet He loved me
He whose glory makes the heavens shine.
So unworthy of such mercy.
Yet when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

The look of love was on His face and thorns were on His head
The blood was on His scarlet robe and stained a crimson red
Though His eyes were on the crowd that day, He looked ahead in time
For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

For He knew me yet He loved me
He whose glory makes the heavens shine.
So unworthy of such mercy.
Yet when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

Yet when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

Words and Music: R. Hinson and M. Payne

Yes, that's a great song! Sure makes you think! He had the power to come down off the cross, but His love for us held Him there. It blows my mind.
