For The Cross

Verse 1

A crown of many thorns
A body bruised and torn
For all Your pain I bow in shame
And I cannot ignore
It's my hands that placed that crown
My heart that weighed You down
My voice that shouted crucify
 

Verse 2

How can I comprehend
That life can come from death
That all wounds by cruel nails
Can heal my brokenness
It was love so merciful
Your love so beautiful
Pure love that hides me in your heart
 

Chorus

And I say, thank You, thank You for the cross
Thank You, thank You for the cross
Hallelujah, thank You for the cross
Jesus, thank You thank You for the cross
 

Verse 3

Now I stand holy, healed, forgiven
And I raise my hands towards the wondrous cross
