Cross Of Christ

On Calvary’s mountain Hope was born / God Himself the Sacrifice / He carried sin, it’s grief and scorn / Up on the precious cross of Christ.

I have not seen this rugged wood, (Where my Jesus bled and died) / To which my Savior was enticed, (On the cross, the cross of Christ) / But hopeless hearts were changed for good, (Where my Jesus bled and died) / Up on the precious cross of Christ, (On the cross, the cross of Christ).

* Chorus: Oh Blessed Hope, unbounded grace / When all our good would not suffice / He challenged darkness face to face / Up on the precious cross of Christ.

There is a joy that’s found within / those who are born not once but twice (On the cross, the cross of Christ) / For they have learned that life begins / Up on the precious cross of Christ (On the cross, the cross of Christ).

Chorus

Hook: He challenged darkness face to face / up on the precious cross of Christ (On the cross, the cross of Christ) / up on the precious cross of Christ / up on the precious cross of Christ!

On Calvary’s mountain Hope was born / up on the precious cross of Christ.
