Thru the Cross

Thru the cross He obeyed; Lord Jesus did pay.
A sacrifice, worthy, that He brought that day.
At Last, there was a gift, it's price utmost high.
At last, a Redeemer, to save for all time!

Chorus:
Thru the cross He shined, His peace is now mine.
From the curse, He rose, Christ's sacrifice glows.
Thru the cross my life with Jesus abides.
Glory to Jesus, glory to the Christ!

Thru the cross His love showed, Lord Jesus' blood flowed.
There's no word to describe what love He bestowed.
There's nothing so bright that shows from up above
Like that which the Father had shown when He loved!

(chorus)

Thru the cross we triumph; Lord Jesus did lead.
He has surely conquered, and death will concede.
When He was brought so low, He had crushed the Foe.
Because He did submit, this Lamb is extolled.

(chorus)

Thru the cross is glory, Lord Jesus our pride.
Because He was raised up, His name is most high.
He will always carry His holy wounds' scars,
Our salvation's ensign, His majestic marks!

(chorus)
