Beauty Of The Cross
Oh, the beauty of the rugged cross
Drenched in mercy ever cleansing blood
There my sins forever swept away
In that torrent of that crimson blood
Oh, wonderous love that called me out by name
The one who made it all died to make a way
And every earthly gain I will count as loss
I am redeemed, that’s the beauty of the cross
Oh, the healing of the rugged cross
Flowing down from mercy’s violent wounds
Every wound and every sacred scar
Laid on Him so I could be made new
Oh, wonderous love that called me out by name
The one who made it all died to make a way
And every earthly gain I will count as loss
I am redeemed, that’s the beauty of the cross
Oh, the beauty of the rugged cross
Oh, the power of the rugged cross
Where he crushed the vile serpent’s head
There my victory broke the curse of sin
Three days later curse the sting of death
Oh, wonderous love that called me out by name
The one who made it all died to make a way
And every earthly gain I will count as loss
I am redeemed, that’s the beauty of the cross.
