On a hill two-thousand years ago
A rugged cross was raised
For all the world to see
On that cross hung the Son of God
To take our sins away
To die for you and me
His sacrifice displayed a love
Never seen before
He's all my strength
He's all my hope
He's everything I live for
I will hold on to the cross
Surrender my life completely
Deep inside my heart I know
He will never let me go
I will hold on to the cross
And when this world pulls against me
He will be the strength I need
I will hold on to the cross
On that hill I have found a love
That will not fade away
For all eternity
A love so strong it
Reaches down through time
To fill my heart today
To live in me
I know that everything
I'll ever need is waiting there
My every strength, my every hope
The answer to my every prayer
To the peace I find in knowing
That His love will never fail
To the mercy and the hope I find
In Him and nowhere else
