Song Lyrics

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

 

Lead Me to the Cross

Saviour I come, quiet my soul, remember

Redemption’s hill where your blood was spilled

For my ransom.

 

Ev’rything I once held dear

I count it all as loss.

 

Lead me to the cross,

where Your love poured out.

Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down.

Rid me of myself, I belong to You.

Oh, lead me.

Lead me to the cross.

 

You were as I, tempted and tried, human.

The Word became flesh, bore my sin in death.

Now, You’re risen.

 

To Your heart.

To Your heart.

Lead me to Your heart.

Lead me to Your heart.

 

Near the Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross

There a precious fountain

Free to all, a healing stream

Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain

 

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river

 

Near the cross a trembling soul

Love and mercy found me

There the Bright and Morning Star

Sheds it beams around me

 

Near the cross O Lamb of God

Bring its scenes before me

Help my walk from day to day

With its shadows o’er me

 

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait

Hoping, trusting ever

Till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river

 

Love Ran Red – At the Cross

There’s a place

where mercy reigns and never dies.

There’s a place

where streams of grace flow deep and wide.

Where all the love

I’ve ever found comes like a flood,

Comes flowing down.

 

At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life,

I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You.

Where Your love ran red

and my sin washed white.

I owe all to You, I owe all to You, Jesus.

 

There’s a place

where sin and shame are powerless.

There my heart

has peace with God and forgiveness.

Where all the love

I’ve ever found comes like a flood,

Comes flowing down.

 

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

 

When I Survey the Wondrous 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

 

Forbid it Lord that I should boast

Save in the death of Christ my God

All the vain things that charm me most

I sacrifice them to His blood

 

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

 

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

 

Grace Like Rain

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I’m found

Was blind but now I see so clearly

Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me

Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away

 

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

 

When we’ve been there

ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun

We’ve no less days to sing Your praise

Than when we first begun

 

Grace

Your grace that leads this sinner home

From death to life forever

And sings the song of righteousness

By blood and not by merit

 

Your grace that reaches far and wide

To every tribe and nation

Has called my heart to enter in

The joy of Your salvation

 

By grace I am redeemed

By grace I am restored

And now I freely walk

Into the arms of Christ my Lord

 

Your grace that I cannot explain

Not by my earthly wisdom

The prince of life without a stain

Was traded for this sinner

 

Let praise rise up and overflow

My song resound forever

For grace will see me welcomed home

To walk beside my Saviour

 

My Chains Are Gone (Amazing Grace)

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost But now am found,

Was blind but now I see.

 

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed.

 

My chains are gone I’ve been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy reign’s

Unending love, amazing grace

 

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures

 

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

the sun forbear to shine

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine, will be forever mine

You are forever mine
