The Cross Stands

Intro

Verse 1

They led You to a hill called shame Crowned with thorns, You bore my name Nails driven deep, Your blood poured out The earth grew dark, creation cried out

Verse 2

Six hours hanging between earth and sky The weight of sin, yet You would not deny Every stripe across Your broken frame Was love declaring freedom over chains

Pre-Chorus

What love is this that would not turn away? What grace is this that chose to stay?

Chorus

At the cross, at the cross Where the Lamb was slain for us Every sin was washed away By the blood You gave that day Oh the cross, oh the cross Where redemption was made known Jesus, You bled and died alone So I could finally come back home

Verse 3

They pierced Your side, water and blood A fountain opened, a crimson flood "It is finished," Your final breath But love was conquering even death

Pre-Chorus

What love is this that would not turn away? What grace is this that chose to stay?

Chorus

At the cross, at the cross Where the Lamb was slain for us Every sin was washed away By the blood You gave that day Oh the cross, oh the cross Where redemption was made known Jesus, You bled and died alone So I could finally come back home

Bridge

Take me back to my first love Take me back to the cross above Where I saw what You gave for me Where Your love first set me free Holy, holy is the Lamb Who was slain yet rose again Holy, holy is the Lamb I surrender all I am

Down Chorus

At the cross, at the cross I lay down my life for Yours Everything I am is Yours Jesus, all I have is Yours

Final Chorus

At the cross, at the cross Where the Lamb was slain for us Every sin was washed away By the blood You gave that day Oh the cross, oh the cross Where redemption was made known Jesus, You bled and died alone So I could finally come back home

Outro

I'm coming home I'm coming home Back to the cross Back to Your love
