The wonder of the
rugged log
stained with blood
of the God-Man
transcends time and space
like none other in history.

There on the cross
He stretched out His arms
of love and grace
of divine embrace
for the lost and damned
sinners like us.

He, the divine love,
invites us, His followers,
to be His loving arms
to stretch out our arms
to be the divine embrace
for the wandering souls.

Change our hearts, O Spirit of God,
fill us with the love of Christ
consume us within
to completely be Your
outstretched arms
of divine embrace.
