Wonderful Cross

What kind of man Would take the fall For someone who deserved to die Such was I, one with all All but hope doomed to fail But then somebody told me The meaning of the cross For every time they pierced His hands and feet Thank God for the wonderful cross For every stripe they laid upon His back Thank God for the wonderful cross For every time they spit upon His face Thank God for the wonderful cross For the crown of thorns they beat on His head Thank God for the wonderful cross Seeking a path Wanting to escape the misery I was headed on the wide road of destruction Heading nowhere very fast There must be more More to this life I said over and over to myself I was searching for the love From the One who hung upon the cross For every time they pierced His hands and feet Thank God for the wonderful cross For every stripe they laid upon His back Thank God for the wonderful cross For every time they spit upon His face Thank God for the wonderful cross For the crown of thorns they beat on His head Thank God for the wonderful cross Do you really know the cost Do you realize what He's done How much gave for you and I We are no longer slaves to sin and death I'm no longer bound to the past He took the blame and bore my shame Now I've been bought with the price of blood And by His stripes all infirmities are gone Jesus how beautiful How wonderful How glorious You are Jesus how beautiful How wonderful How glorious You are For every time they pierced His hands and feet Thank God for the wonderful cross For every stripe they laid upon His back Thank God for the wonderful cross For every time they spat upon His face Thank God for the wonderful cross For the crown of thorns they beat on His head Thank God for the wonderful cross
