The Wonderful Cross

Chris Tomlin

VERSE 1:

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

VERSE 2:

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down:

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

CHORUS:

Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross

Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live

Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross

All who gather here by grace draw near and bless Your name

VERSE 4:

Were the whole realm of Nature mine,

That were an offering far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all!

Because He Lives

VERSE 1

God sent His Son they called Him Jesus

He came to love heal and forgive

He bled and died to buy my pardon

An empty grave is there to prove

My Savior lives

CHORUS 1

Because He lives I can face tomorrow

Because He lives all fear is gone

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living

Just because He lives

VERSE 2

How sweet to hold our newborn baby

And feel the pride and joy he gives

But greater still the calm assurance

This child can face uncertain days

Because Christ lives

VERSE 3

And then one day I'll cross that river

I'll fight life's final war with pain

And then as death gives way to vict'ry

I'll see the lights of glory

And I'll know He reigns

The Blessing

Verse 1

The Lord bless you and keep you
Make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you
The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace

Chorus 1
Amen, Amen, Amen

(Bridge 1)
May his favor be upon you and a thousand generations
And your family, and your children, and their children, and their children

(Bridge 2)
May his presence go before you, and behind you, and beside you
All around you, and within you
He is with you. He is with you

(Bridge 3)
In the morning, in the evening, in your coming, and your going
In your weeping and rejoicing
He is for you. He is for you
He is for you. He is for you
