The Wonderful Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died

My richest gain I count but loss

And pour contempt on all my pride

 

See from His head, His hands, His feet

Sorrow and love flow mingled down

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet

Or thorns compose so rich a crown

 

O the wonderful cross

O the wonderful cross

Bids me come and die

And find that I may truly live

O the wonderful cross

O the wonderful cross

All who gather here by grace

Draw near and bless your name

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine

That were an offering far too small

Love so amazing so divine

Demands my soul, my life, my all

 

Man of Sorrows (That Rugged Cross)

Man of sorrows, Lamb of God,

by His own betrayed.

The sin of man and wrath of God

has been on Jesus laid.

 

Silent as He stood accused,

beaten, mocked and scorned.

Bowing to the Father’s will,

He took a crown of thorns.

 

Oh, that rugged cross, my salvation,

where Your love poured out over me.

Now my soul cries out, “hallelujah!

Praise and honor unto Thee!”

 

Sent of heaven, God’s own Son,

to purchase and redeem,

And reconcile the very ones

who nailed Him to that tree.

 

Now my debt is paid, it is paid in full,

by the precious blood that my Jesus spilled.

Now the curse of sin has no hold on me. Whom the Son sets free, oh, is free indeed.

 

See the stone is rolled away,

behold the empty tomb.

Hallelujah, God be praised!

He’s risen from the grave!

 

Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us

Savior, like a shepherd lead us,

Much we need Thy tender care

In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,

For our use Thy folds prepare

 

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus

Thou has bought us, Thine we are;

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus

Thou has bought us, Thine we are;

 

We are Thine; do Thou befriend us

Be the Guardian of our way

Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us

Seek us when we go astray;

 

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus

Hear O hear us when we pray

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus

Hear O hear us when we pray

 

Thou hast promised to receive us

Poor and sinful though we be;

Thou hast mercy to relieve us,

Grace to cleanse, and pow’r to free

 

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,

Early let us turn to Thee

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,

Early let us turn to Thee

 

The Power of the Cross

Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day

Christ on the road to Calvary

Tried by sinful men

Torn and beaten then

Nailed to a cross of wood

 

This the power of the cross

Christ became sin for us

Took the blame bore the wrath

We stand forgiven at the cross

 

Oh to see the pain written on Your face

Bearing the awesome weight of sin

Ev’ry bitter thought ev’ry evil deed

Crowning Your blood stained brow

 

Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath

Quakes as its Maker bows His head

Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life

Finished the vict’ry cry

 

Oh to see my name written in the wounds

For through Your suff’ring I am free

Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live

Won through Your selfless love

 

This the power of the cross

Son of God slain for us

What a love, what a cost

We stand forgiven at the cross
