The Glory of the Cross
V1
What wisdom once devised the plan, Where all our sin and pride
Was placed upon the perfect Lamb, Who suffered, bled and died
The wisdom of a sovereign God, Whose greatness will be shown
When those who crucified Your Son, Rejoice around the throne
CH
And oh the glory of the cross, That You would send Your Son for us
I gladly count my life as loss, That I might come to know
The glory of, the glory of the cross
V2
What righteousness was there revealed, That sets the guilty free
That justifies ungodly men, And calls the filthy clean?
A righteousness that proved to all, Your justice has been met
And holy wrath is satisfied through one atoning death
V3
What mercy now has been proclaimed, For those who would believe
A love incomprehensible, Our minds could not conceive
A mercy that forgives my sin, That makes me like Your Son
And now I’m loved forevermore, Because of what You’ve done
