Cross of Christ Lyrics

On Calvary's hill the world went dark

A sacrifice that hit the mark

Nail-pierced hands and a crown of thorn

For our souls the veil was torn

Laid to rest in a borrowed tomb

A world engulfed in deathly gloom

But on the third day skies did clear

An empty grave our hope sincere

Laid to rest in a borrowed tomb

A world engulfed in deathly gloom

But on the third day skies did clear

An empty grave our hope sincere

Cross of Christ our salvation sign

Love so great it defies time

Risen Lord in glory bright

Sealed by Spirit pure and light

He broke the chains of fear and doubt

His light shines where shadows shout

From death to life He paved our way

In His love we are to stay

With hearts full of His enduring grace

We lift our voices in sacred place

Thru every trial His love withstands

Our lives are held in His strong hands

Cross of Christ our salvation sign

Love so great it defies time

Risen Lord in glory bright

Sealed by Spirit pure and light

He broke the chains of fear and doubt

His light shines where shadows shout

From death to life He paved our way

In His love we are to stay

With hearts full of His enduring grace

We lift our voices in sacred place

Thru every trial His love withstands

Our lives are held in His strong hands

Cross of Christ our salvation sign

Love so great it defies time

Risen Lord in glory bright

Sealed by Spirit pure and light

He broke the chains of fear and doubt

His light shines where shadows shout

From death to life He paved our way

In His love we are to stay

Are to stay

His love we are to stay
