V1
Salvation’s anthem echoes for all eternity
The work of Christ completed for you and me
All sin and death and darkness bow at His Holy name
It is finished, it is done, by the Author of our faith
CHO
Once upon a rugged cross
He knew what it would cost…to love the lost
He hung where crimson mercy flowed His blood still tells the greatest story ever told
Redemption’s hope revealed the Father’s plan So we can live forever after and it all began
Once upon a cross
Once upon a rugged cross
V2|
Did angels weep in silence, did all of heaven see?
The wounded suffering Savior on Calvary
Did soldiers bow in reverence did strangers run and hide
As creation testified of this Jesus crucified
