Euangelion - The Cross of Jesus Lyrics

Before the cross of Jesus the symbol of His love
Lay all the sin and sorrow of those He came to save
The great redeeming Savior, the Carpenter and King
Gave up His flesh for wicked men, His children's way to pave
How could a child of sorrow receive eternal peace
How could a God of justice forgive our wickedness
The Answer born a baby, grew up a perfect Man
And suffered for His chosen ones while on the cross He bled
Upon the Lord was laden the sins of fallen men
A perfect substitution, His blood has made us clean
We need no other offering; The Lamb of God was slain
His wound have paid the sinners' way; our pardon is secure
But the story was not over. O, death, where is your sting
The Conqueror, the Son of God, has risen from the grave
Now as Christ has joined His Father as the Victor over death
His children have a hope secure, a joy that's measureless
Now as Christ has joined His Father, as the Victor over death
His children have a hope secure, a joy that's measureless
