For the Cross

VERSE 1

The life You gave

Your body was broken

Your love poured out

You bled and You died for me

There on that cross

You breathed Your last as you were crucified

You gave it all for me

CHORUS 1

Hallelujah, what a Savior

Hallelujah, what a friend

Hallelujah, King forever

We thank You for the cross

VERSE 2

There in the ground

Sealed in the darkness

Lifeless laid

The frame of the Father’s son

In agony

He watched His only Son be sacrificed

He gave it all for me

VERSE 3

But on that day

What seemed as the darkest hour

A violent hope

Broke through and shook the ground

And as You rose

The Light of all the world was magnified

And You rose in victory

CHORUS 2

Hallelujah, it is finished

Hallelujah, it is done

Hallelujah, King forever

We thank You for the cross

END TAG

And though our sins are scarlet

You have made us white as snow
