To The Cross My Heart ReturnsBy Peter Gringhuis, Elton Smith and Larry HolderCCLI Number: 5864102
Though at times we seem alone, God has not forgotten us. Look for His hand in your life and you will see Him guiding and protecting you. Return in your mind to the cross, to the moment you first believed and received forgiveness. ![]() ![]()
(Verse 1)
On a rugged, cruel cross His life was in the balance Despised for all mankind Reduced to pain and suffering His promise to fulfill God gave His only son And we will not forget the price He paid (Verse 2) In the light of our belief We're living true to Jesus In His death He gave us life A life of peace and purpose Though at times we seem alone The day will surely come The day when we will be with Him (Chorus) To the cross my heart returns Where the journey all began Where Jesus held me in His arms The sting of death He overcame Though His love was undeserved By grace my heart believed Forgiveness there was found on the cross (Verse 3) Now by living in His power With Jesus as our anchor The Father's wish has been fulfilled His love has drawn us closer It is God's abiding grace That gently leads us on As now we live our lives through His Son (Repeat Chorus) To the cross my heart returns Where the journey all began Where Jesus held me in His arms The sting of death He overcame Though His love was undeserved By grace my heart believed Forgiveness there was found on the cross Copyright © 2010 Peter Gringhuis, Elton Smith and Larry Holder ![]() This song has been displayed 37689 times.

This reminds us all of the greatest attribute of God which is his divine mercy. God is ALWAYS there waiting for US as sinners to return to him and start afresh a new life with him.
Think about this.
God loves YOU personally. God's presence is closer to you than your very thoughts are to yourself. God's invitation is always there: 'Repent and turn to me so that I will make of you a new creation; even if you are a big sinner or criminal; even if you are tempted to think that your sins are un-forgiveable.' Turn to God and you will find peace and love for God is our saviour and ONLY God can truly satisfy our spirit and hearts.
Trust in his Divine Mercy and spread his loving providence with all those you live with and meet.
HOW can I be an apostle of God's divine mercy?
1. Spread the word with everyone that God's infinite love and divine mercy are greater than all the sins committed by all the human beings during the history of all human mankind. God never stops loving for God is love.
2. Help others by doing simple and small things with great love such as visiting someone who is sick, encourage and appreciate the positive qualities of other people, smile, etc
3. Do everything with a spirit of lowe towards God and your neighbour.
4. Never leave negative thoughts or other people thoughts intrude in your loving relation between you and God and between you and other people.
5. Pray and pray and pray. Be continuously aware that you are living your life in God's presence.
6. Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as given by Jesus to St. Faustina. Jesus promised a lot of graces bestowed upon those who recite this chaplet and spread the word of his divine mercy.
7. Help and do what is good to your neighbour everyday and everywhere irrespective of what others say about you.
8. Finally but not least, ALWAYS trust in God's divine mercy and be merciful to others.
May God bless you all.
