At the cross of Jesus truth and mercy meet;
A river of forgiveness flows from that cross of peace.
Healing from our sorrows like a vast, relentless tide
Can be found as we surrender
at that cross of sacrifice.
At the cross of Jesus God revealed such grace.
Instead of showing anger His arms reached out to save.
Heaven’s gates flew open as He offered up His life.
There’s acceptance in abundance
At that cross of sacrifice.
Praise Him. Everybody praise Him!
Praise Him, Everybody praise Him!
Praise Him, Tell of His amazing love
At the cross of Jesus there’s no room for pride
For every individual is valued in God’s eyes.
All our restless striving and ambitions that we hide
Will be seen to count for nothing
at that cross of sacrifice.
Joined by many others gathered in this place,
Across the generations we’re lifting up His Name
As we stand together a song will surely rise
Of the Christ who took our burdens
at that cross of sacrifice.
