The God Of The Cross
LYRICS
Verse 1
All of us like sheep have gone astray
Each to our own way, after the sin of our father
But You caused the iniquity of us all
To fall upon Him Like a Lamb to the slaughter
Pre-Chorus
And You were pleased to crush Him, Putting His soul to grief
So we might see Your glory there…
Chorus
You’re the God of the cross
(And this is Your glory) You’re the God of the cross
(That You would die for your enemies) You’re the God of the cross
(You’ve always been, You’ll always be)
The God of the cross
Verse 2
We were all looking for the way Back from the mess we’ve made To return to our Father
But we didn’t know what You were like We couldn’t see what kind of life You would require
Pre-Chorus
But just in time You caused Your face to shine upon us And we all saw Your glory there…
