The Exaltation of the Holy Cross

 

 

 

Make a fiery serpent.
And set it on a pole.
Will we repent.
Are we looking deep into our soul.

Moses made a bronze serpent.
And set it on a pole.
The people did see and repent.
They understood its role.

When we look upon the cross.
What do we see.
Is it salvation , is it personal loss.
Is it God we see.

We need to look up.
And the cross, take up.

…….

Set on a high pole.
Moses sets fiery serpent
For us it’s the cross
