The wonder of Your cross shall be our meditation
To gather in that shadow as the sun went down
To weep with those who thought that You were leaving
You were leaving Jesus
The humble King, who never wore an Earthly cr-own
To steal away at night when they took down Your body
With love and tears to leave You in a borrowed grave
To go with Mary to that place they laid You
Where they laid You Jesus
And in the morning find the stone was rolled aw-ay
~Chorus~
The cr-oss oh the w-onderful cross
(Wonderfull cr-oss)
What gl-ory what v-ict’ry I’ve f-ound
(Vict’ry I’ve f-ound)
I’ll c-ome to the w-onderful cross
(Wonderfull cr-oss)
A-nd my whole life, I lay d-own
Were heaven’s praises silent in those hours of darkness
Your Holy Spirit brooding round that empty throne
Until the declaration He is risen
You are risen Jesus
He is not dead, behold He lives for everm-ore
H-ey
~Chorus~
(My whole life)
And my wh-ole life, I lay d-own
(Heaven’s praises)
(Repeat 3rd verse)
H-ey
~Chorus~
(Whole life)
And my wh-ole life, I lay d-own
