Thank you for the cross dear Lord,
For the sacrifice You made.
For giving up Your life for me,
Such love You have displayed.
No one else would ever die,
So my heart could be free.
I’m overwhelmed and filled with love,
At what You did for me.
Thank You for the cross dear Lord,
For the price that You did pay.
Tears stream down my face again,
And I bow my head and pray.
The thought of You up on that cross,
Just makes me want to say.
Thank You Jesus for the cross,
I’ll thank You every day.
Thank You for the cross dear Lord,
For dying just for me.
For all the pain You suffered,
While nailed upon that tree.
And for all the pain You felt,
When You felt hell’s fire.
Praising You and thanking You,
Is my heart’s desire.
Thank You Jesus for Your love,
It warms and fills my heart.
I know because of what You did,
We’ll never be apart.
Because You died I’ll never die,
You paid the price for me.
Thank You for the cross dear Lord,
Your love has set me free.
