The Wonder Of Your Cross

Words:

The wonder of Your cross shall be our meditation,

To gather in that shadow when the sun went down,

To weep with those who thought that You were leaving,

You were leaving, Jesus;

The humble King who never wore an earthly crown.

Chorus:

The cross, O the wonderful cross;

What glory, what victory, I've found.

I'll come to the wonderful cross,

And my whole life I lay down.

To steal away at night, when they took down Your body,

With love and tears to leave You in a borrowed grave,

To go with Mary to the place they laid You,

Where they laid You, Jesus,

And in the morning find the stone was rolled away.

Chorus

Were heaven's praises silent in those hours of darkness?

Your Holy Spirit brooding round that empty throne?

Until the declaration: “He is Risen”, You are risen, Jesus

He is not dead, behold, He lives for evermore.
