The writers of the song featured in this blog received a letter from someone who was planning suicide when he heard it on the radio. The words of the song reached his heart and he pulled over to the side of the road to think about them. He changed his mind. The song saved his life.
What a thought: “When Jesus was on the cross, I was on His mind. Marvelous grace.”
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20 NIV).”
WHEN HE WAS ON THE CROSS I WAS ON HIS MIND Ronald Michael Payne, Ronnie Hinson
1984
I’m not on an ego trip I’m nothing on my own
I made mistakes I often slip
Just common flesh and bones
But I’ll prove someday just why I say
I’m of a special kind
For when he was on the cross
I was on his mind.
The look of love was on his face
Thorns were on his head
The blood was on his scarlet robe
Stained a crimson red
Though his eyes were on the crowd that day
He looked ahead in time
For when he was on the cross
I was on his mind.
He knew me, yet he loved me
He whose glory makes the heavens shine
So unworthy of such mercy
Yet when he was on the cross
I was on his mind.
Yet when he was on the cross
I was on his mind.
