Forever We Will Thank You For The Cross

Verse 1

Oh the pain,
The pain that you endured
The twisted crown of thorns
Your flesh was ripped and torn
Oh the shame,
The shame that weighed you down
The violence of the crowd
The spit upon your brow

Chorus 1

What a sacrifice
When you gave your life
To demonstrate the Father's heart for us
How you shed your blood
For the ones you love
We’ll ever be amazed at all you’ve done
Forever we will thank you for the cross

Verse 2

Oh the nails, the nails
That held you there
Until your final breath
Surrendering to death
Oh the grave, the grave
They sealed you in
A tomb for all our sin
The darkness closing in

Verse 3

Oh the day, the day
You rose again
The stone was rolled away
The course of hist’ry changed
Oh praise his name
Crown him with ev’ry crown
Let every knee bow down
Let Earth and heaven shout

Chorus 2

What a victory
When you rose to be Exalted over every living thing
We have been redeemed
We have been set free
We’ll ever be amazed at all you’ve done
Forever we will thank you for the cross

Bridge

Forever worthy
Forever great
Forever you deserve the glory and the praise
We’ll forever worship
Christ our Lord
Forever we will thank you for the cross

Verse 4

Oh the joy
The joy I’ve come to know
My life is not my own
My everything I owe
Oh the life
The life that I have found
In laying it all down
I’m following you now
I’m taking up my cross
