En una cruz a Cristo vi Cuando Él por mí sufrió; Los ojos Él fijó en mí Cuando Él allí murió. Y su mirada triste allí Jamás olvido yo; Sentí que me acusaba a mí, Mas Él jamás me habló. Sus males luego mi alma vio, Pesares mil sufrí; Fue mi maldad que le causó Morir allí por mí. Y luego Cristo así me habló: «Ya perdonado estás; Mi corazón por ti sangró Y en mí vivir podrás». ¡Oh cuánto amor el Salvador Allí por mí mostró! Amor sentí al ver que allí Jesús por mí murió20. Los himnos como este, y muchos coros contemporáneos también, si están centrados en la cruz, pueden ayudarle a hacer del evangelio la banda sonora de su día.
