Thank You for the Cross

How can I ever thank you for the cross? Where Heaven's champion gave himself for us While masses gathered far as eyes could see The humble King laid down his life for me On sinners hill, nailed to a barren tree They hung the very one who'd set them free Blood from his head, as tears flowed from his eyes. You paid the debt to ransom back my life Condemned and arraigned While soldiers mocked in vain In Silence he stayed For the curse He came to break How Can I ever thank you for the cross? His final breath would rumble earth and sea The King of Heaven gave his life for me In Joseph's tomb, the dwelling of his grave The heavy stone has now been rolled away And the grave where he lay Was a temporary space Death would not remain Our God has won the day!
