Tauren Wells’ Soul-Stirring ‘Thank You for The Cross’

Without Christ, none of us would have a chance. We would all still be living in sin and shame, destined for hell after our time on Earth comes to an end. It would be an eternity full of pain, hurt and torment. There would have been much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But sadly, that is an eternity that we all most certainly deserve. The Bible states that we are all sinners, having fallen well short of the glory of God. However, Christ, motivated only by His never-ending and unfailing love for all of humanity, willingly went to the cross, suffering and dying and eventually rising again.

Christ’s painful and agonizing death changed everything for you and me. Because of His sacrifice, we can be forgiven and experience eternal life. We have hope and a future only because of what He did on the cross.

In “Thank You for the Cross,” Tauren sings about Christ’s sacrifice and death on the cross – a death that bridged the gap that sin had caused between God and man.  It’s a lovely song that deserves to be heard and listened to by all.

The song’s chorus, while simple, is so powerful. It’s full of truth, putting into perspective how big of a difference Christ’s death on the cross made for anyone and everyone.

“I thank You, Thank You
Thank You for the cross
I praise You, praise You
Without it, I’d be lost”

As the song mentions, without Jesus Christ, who willingly suffered and died on the cross – treatment and a death that He most certainly did not deserve – we would still be lost, left wondering, destined for an eternity separated from Him. Christ changed all of that.

1 Peter 2:24: “He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.”
