Settled at the Cross

I've recently been listening to a CD of the specials our church has done since the beginning of the year and one of the songs on it is Settled at the Cross which is sung by our Pastor and his daughter. Honestly, it is one of the most beautiful songs and arrangements I have ever heard. I found a similar one here. I've been going through a lot in my life recently with my new(ish) job, friend's lives, longings that I know may not be fulfilled anytime soon, just enough to make a person go crazy and feeling like there's a hole that's not being filled. There's an emptiness that I'm struggling with and I know I'm missing something somewhere, but I can't really figure out what it is right now. But this song, this song is a reminder that no matter what happens from here on out, God already proved His love to me. He loves me and wants the best for me, all I have to do is still my aching heart and listen to his direction...

Settled at the Cross

How I love to read the Book You wrote for me
You loved the world so much You gave Your Son
Written there in crimson, You told me I'm forgiven.
It is done, it is done!

Chorus:
So if You never speak another word of blessing
And the silence leaves me with a sense of loss
I'll remember when my heart begins to question
Any doubt that You love me was settled at the cross. 

I would be the first to admit I don't deserve
The kind of favor You have always shown.
But You don't have to tell me, You proved how much You love me,
And I know, I still know 

Chorus:
That if You never speak another word of blessing,
And the silence leaves me with a sense of loss,
I'll remember when my heart begins to question,
Any doubt that You love me was settled at the cross.

Every word was mercy,
every breath forgave,
Every drop of blood testifies of grace.

Chorus:
So if You never speak another word of blessing,
And the silence leaves me with a sense of loss,
I'll remember when my heart begins to question,
Any doubt that You love me was settled at the cross.
Any doubt that You love me was settled at the cross.
