Freudian slip
Last night, Toben and I were talking with a friend in pain.
"You know if you need help, you just pick up the phone and the calvary will come running," he said.
"Don't you mean the cavalry?" I laughed.
"Both," she said. "Calvary and the cavalry."
What a combination! And isn't that how it should be? Christ and the power of Calvary is there in our troubles; community as the cavalry should be there too.
I love the lyrics of this song, Mighty is the Power of the Cross:
What can take a dying man and raise him up to life again?
What can heal a wounded soul?
What can make us white as snow?
What can fill the emptiness?
What can mend our brokenness?
Brokenness
Chorus:
Mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the holy cross
Where the Lamb laid down His life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is the power of the cross
What restores our faith in God?
What reveals the Father's love?
What can lead the wayward home?
What can melt a heart of stone?
What can free the guilty ones
What can save and overcome?
Overcome
(chorus)
It's a miracle to me (2x)
and It's still a mystery (2x)
It's a miracle to me
The power of God
For those who believe
Mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the holy cross
Where the Lamb laid down His life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is .......
Mighty is.......
Mighty is the power of the cross
Thank You for the cross (2x)
Love the cross (2x)
So Powerful...... ohhhhh yeahhh
What can take a dying man?
And raise him up to life again?
Worship You Jesus
By your wounds we are healed
By your wounds we are saved
Mighty is the power of the cross (2x)
Thank You Jesus for the Holy cross
Send in the Calvary indeed!
