Simon of Cyrene was compelled to carry the cross of Jesus. One of the thieves crucified with Jesus was convicted by Jesus dying on the cross. Albert Orsborn wrote a beautiful song:
Many thoughts stir my heart as I ponder alone;
Many places attract me with charms all their own;
But the thought of all thoughts is of Christ crucified,
The place of all places, the hill where He died.
O the charm of the cross! How I love to be there!
With the love that shines from it, what love can compare?
The seal of my ransom in Calvary I see,
All my sin, O my Saviour, laid upon Thee
'Tis the end of my sin and the source of all grace;
'Tis the word of God's love to a prodigal race;
'Tis the greatest, the grandest gift God could impart,
Surpassing my reason but winning my heart.
For the sake of the Christ and the love of His cross
I have yielded my all and not reckoned it loss;
There's a place in my heart which the Saviour must fill;
No other can take it, and none ever will.
What beautiful words! They really touch my heart. Hope it does yours
