BEST TRADE

There is a place upon a hill,
Where stands a rugged trading post.
Here’s where I come each brand new day
To trade for what I need the most.

I bring my sins, receive forgiveness,
I drop my grudges, the whole load,
Here I shed tears of deepest grief
And in their place His love behold.

What joy He gives when I drop pride,
And pick up His humility.
When I let go of angry thoughts,
He fills my life with harmony.

That wrecked relationship I bring,
It’s something He needs to repair.
Here I leave burdens, take His peace.
Dispose of all my sorrows there.

Oh, I invite you! Come to Him!
He offers you great gain, not loss!
Exchange despair for hope eternal!
Leave all your cares down at the Cross!
