The sin that promised joy and life Had led me to the grave.
I had no hope that You would own A rebel to Your will.
And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still.
You looked upon my helpless state And led me to the cross.
And I beheld God’s love displayed You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me Now all I know is grace.
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life
The strength to follow Your commands Could never come from me.
Oh Father, use my ransomed life In any way You choose.
And let my song forever be My only boast is You.
You're my glory and my lifter of my head
Thou Oh LORD, art a shield about me
You're my glory and my lifter of my head
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're the lifter of my head
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
The great High Priest whose name is 'Love,'
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while in heav’n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin.
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me.
To look on him and pardon me.
My perfect, spotless Righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace!
My soul is purchased by His blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God
We are not of the world we’re in
We are chosen; we are blessed,
To bring light to the lives of men
Wake us from our sleep
This is Your time; this is Your place
And we are vessels for breaking
You have redeemed us by the blood of Your Son
Send down Your Word; we are eager to hear it
Ready our hearts to carry Your love
You’re the hope of a brand new day
You are comfort; You are blessing,
And You wipe all our tears away
Render miracles from our sin
Remind us once again
This is Your time; this is Your place
We are vessels for breaking
My Savior went courageously
And there He bled and died for me,
Hallelujah for the Cross!
And on that day the world was changed
A final perfect Lamb was slain.
Let Earth and Heaven now proclaim,
Hallelujah for the Cross!
Love has won; death has lost.
Hallelujah for the souls He bought,
Hallelujah for the Cross!
My debt too great for deeds to pay.
But God, my Savior, made a way,
Hallelujah for the Cross!
A slave to sin my life was bound,
But all my chains fell to the ground
When Jesus’ blood came flowing down.
Hallelujah for the Cross!
I’ll have no need to fear that rest.
This hope will guide me into death.
Hallelujah for the Cross!
