At The Cross we recieve Christ's redemption

At the Cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there by faith, I received my sight and now I am happy all the day. A decree by all Christians on the proclamation of their faith in the ever Living God. What a hymn to sooth the wandering mind to bring one peace and into the presence of our Loving Heavenly Father. I still sing this hymn in Church and the Lyrics really do get to me. Lets begin to learn this melody to be a blessing to someone.
