Lyrics

The Cross

[Verse One]
You were beaten and broken for us
Mocked and crowned with shame
Every step You took in silence
You carried all our blame
The weight of every failure
Was laid upon Your back
And love held You there willingly
Where mercy met the past

[Chorus]
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
My god You gave Your life to save us
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Now Forever we are Yours

[Verse Two]
You were scorned and left rejected
Despised by all You came to save
The hands that healed the hurting
Were pierced and nailed that day
The sky grew dark in sorrow
As You cried out alone
Yet even in the suffering
Your mercy still was shown

[Chorus]
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
My God You gave Your life to save us
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Now Forever we are Yours

[Verse Three]
The grave could not contain You
The stone was rolled away
The power of the living God
Brought life out of the grave
Now death is overcome
And hope is standing strong
Because the King is risen
We lift our thankful song

[Chorus]
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
My God You gave Your life to save us
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Now Forever we are Yours

[Bridge]
You are risen
You are risen
Jesus, Jesus

[Bridge]
You are risen
You are risen
Jesus, Jesus

[Final Chorus]
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Now we live because You live
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Now Forever we are Yours
