Lyrics Oh the Cross - The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Karen Melendez Rampersad

Oh the Cross

My longing for love wouldn’t go away
I was desperate, searching, broken by pain
Looking for answers but nothing seemed right
My longing for love wouldn’t go away
I was desperate, searching, broken by pain
Looking for answers but nothing seemed right
Where was my answer, what was my life?
Blinded by sin I was lost, deceived
Until I turned my eyes to Calvary
Oh the cross where Jesus died
He shed His blood, gave His life for you and I
My sins erased, no longer lost
My debt was paid, I am saved
Oh the cross
Day after day as I live my life
I find heartache, trouble, battles to fight
When fear tries to grip me and I feel alone
My Jesus is with me
I’m not on my own
Now I can say in my heart I believe
My life has been changed because of Calvary
Oh the cross where Jesus died
He shed His blood, gave His life for you and I
My sins erased, no longer lost
My debt was paid, I am saved
Oh the cross
