By those who mock God's holy name
When every human threat comes with believing Him
I will cling to His promises alone
When I see the wondrous cross of Jesus
How His flesh was torn, saving sinners such as I
I forget all earthly wand'rings and focus on the prize
Grateful for the wondrous cross of Jesus
When sickness and death is just an inch away
Every resource was used up in every way
When every human pain makes the suff'ring hard to bear
I will cling to His hope alone
When I see the wondrous cross of Jesus
How He endured every curse, saving sinners such as I
I forget all earthly wand'rings and focus on the prize
Grateful for the wondrous cross of Jesus
The mercy of the Lord made Him leave His throne
To endure His Father's wrath
Putting on His blood-stained robe,
In His righteousness, I'm clothed
And I willingly took up His cross
When I see the wondrous cross of Jesus
How His Father took His life, giving breath to such as I
I believe this crucified Man rose up a glorious King
And chose me
To save me
I'll be forever grateful for the wondrous cross of Jesus
