(Verse 1)
Some say, “Why remember suffering?
Why keep Christ upon the Cross?”
But how could we forget the moment
when Jesus paid the price for us?
The Cross is not defeat or weakness,
nor a sign of hopeless pain;
it is the throne of love and mercy
where the Lamb of God was slain.
(Pre-Chorus)
We do not worship wood or images,
our worship belongs to God alone;
the Crucifix reminds the faithful
how great the love that Heaven showed.
(Chorus)
The empty tomb proclaims He’s risen,
the Crucifix reveals His love;
the wounds He bore became our healing,
the path that leads our souls above.
We preach Christ crucified in glory,
the Savior lifted up for all;
for without Jesus, the Cross is nothing,
and through the Cross He saved us all.
(Verse 2)
Saint Paul declared with holy boldness:
“I boast only in Christ’s Cross”;
for there the Lord destroyed the power
of sin, eternal death, and loss.
Even risen, Christ in glory
showed the wounds within His hands;
signs forever speaking mercy,
proof of love’s eternal plan.
(Pre-Chorus)
We do not “crucify Him over,”
His sacrifice was once for all;
but we remember what He suffered
each time before the Cross we fall.
(Chorus)
The empty tomb proclaims He’s risen,
the Crucifix reveals His love;
the wounds He bore became our healing,
the path that leads our souls above.
We preach Christ crucified in glory,
the Savior lifted up for all;
for without Jesus, the Cross is nothing,
and through the Cross He saved us all.
(Chorus)
The empty tomb proclaims He’s risen,
the Crucifix reveals His love;
the wounds He bore became our healing,
the path that leads our souls above.
We preach Christ crucified in glory,
the Savior lifted up for all;
for without Jesus, the Cross is nothing,
and through the Cross He saved us all.
(Bridge)
“Greater love has no man than this:”
that one would give his life away;
and on the Cross our Lord revealed it,
opening Heaven through His grace.
The Lamb once slain now reigns forever,
alive upon the heavenly throne;
and every time we see the Crucifix,
we remember we are not alone.
(Final Chorus)
The Cross of Christ is not forgotten,
for there salvation was revealed;
the love of God poured out before us,
the broken heart forever healed.
So let the nations see the Savior,
His mercy flowing from the tree;
for through the Cross shines hope eternal,
and Jesus Christ has set us free.
