Love That Took the Cross

Love That Took the Cross

Verse 1
I was lost in shame and sorrow,
Bound by sin I couldn’t bear.
But You reached into my darkness,
With a love so deep and rare.
You saw me through the ashes,
You called me by my name,
And wrapped me in Your mercy,
With grace that never fades.

Chorus
This is love — not that I loved You,
But You loved me first, so true.
You gave it all, You bore it all,
To make my heart brand new.
Oh Jesus, Lamb of Heaven,
You took my place, my cost.
Now I stand forgiven,
By the Love that took the Cross.

Verse 2
You walked the road to Calv’ry,
Your blood poured out for me.
The crown of thorns, the nails, the pain,
All so I could be set free.
No greater love than this, oh Lord,
No deeper gift remains.
You conquered death forevermore,
And broke my every chain.

Chorus
This is love — not that I loved You,
But You loved me first, so true.
You gave it all, You bore it all,
To make my heart brand new.
Oh Jesus, Lamb of Heaven,
You took my place, my cost.
Now I stand forgiven,
By the Love that took the Cross.

Bridge
Unfailing, unchanging, Your mercy flows like rain.
Redeeming, restoring, You heal my every pain.
My Savior, my Jesus, I’ll worship You always,
For nothing can separate me
From Your everlasting grace.

Chorus (repeat with power)
This is love — not that I loved You,
But You loved me first, so true.
You gave it all, You bore it all,
To make my heart brand new.
Oh Jesus, Lamb of Heaven,
You took my place, my cost.
Now I stand forgiven,
By the Love that took the Cross.

Outro
Yes, I stand forgiven...
By the Love that took the Cross.
