| There is a beautiful terrible cross
|
| Where though You committed no sin
|
| Savior, You suffered the most wicked fate
|
| On the cruelest creation of men
|
| Yet on that beautiful terrible cross
|
| You did what only You could
|
| Turning that dark inspired evil of hell
|
| Into our soul’s greatest good
|
| We see the love that You showed us
|
| We see the life that You lost
|
| We bow in wonder and praise You
|
| For the beautiful terrible cross
|
| There on that beautiful terrible cross
|
| Though darkness was strong on that hill
|
| You remained sovereign, Lord, still in control
|
| As Your perfect plan was fulfilled
|
| We see the love that You showed us
|
| We see the life that You lost
|
| We bow in wonder and praise You
|
| For the beautiful terrible cross
|
| Oh, we gained the riches of Heaven
|
| Jesus, You paid the horrible cost
|
| We stand forgiven and praise You
|
| For the beautiful terrible cross
|
| For the beautiful terrible cross
|
| In the cross, in the cross
|
| Be my glory ever
|
| Till my raptured soul shall find
|
| Rest beyond the river
|
| Beautiful cross
|
| Terrible cross
|
| Beautiful cross
|
| Terrible cross |
