When ya think of that cross that was covered in blood
What comes to ya mind - what are ya thinkin' of
That cross at Calvary where tha savior died
I'm talkin' bout That Cross where He was crucified
Where they took long nails and they hammered 'em in
To His hands and His feet, though He knew no sin
But He became sin and He took your place
A picture of Love, true mercy and grace
But He only suffered once and believe that's plenty
Hebrews 9:28 said it was once for many
God demands punishment for sin committed
Jesus satisfied justice - at tha cross He did it
Foolishness to you if you tha perishin' type
I’m only boastin' in that cross so forget that hype
To us who bein' saved - the cross the power of God
You can say whatcha want but we know we been called
Hook
That cross, that cross - that tree that was cursed
For death in that day - there wasn't nuthin worse
That cross is tha place where my wrath was taken
By tha One who died as my propitiation
X2
End hook
Tha wrath I deserved - it wasn't withheld
When Christ was on tha cross - that's where it was spilled
He absorbed every bit of tha wrath that's mine
I ain't sure - but maybe that was runnin' through his mind
When he was sweatin' blood in Gasthemene
And said "if possible let this cup pass from me"
But He was obedient even to death
I can't imagine tha relief when He took His last breath
It wasn't like He only paid tha cost for one -
Tha only perfect man - also God's son
110 billion - maybe even more
The people on this earth with all tha ones before
Plus all tha ones to come - numbers we don't know
He was bruised and wounded cua he loves us so
Imagine all that wrath and He was soakin' it up
I gotta stop for a minute cuz it's chokin' me up
Hook
That cross, that cross - that tree that was cursed
For death in that day - there wasn't nuthin worse
That cross is tha place where my wrath was taken
By tha One who died as my propitiation

When I think about that wondrous cross
I think of how the blood He shed was not lost
Cuz if that blood was lost -it was all for nuthin'
He invested that blood so he could get back somethin'
He gained many sons and many daughters, too
But there's a few questions that I got for you:
Did ya come to that cross and lay your burden down?
Did you repent of all your sin? Did ya turn around?
Did ya take that easy yoke and that burden light?
Or did you just say a prayer and thought that you "Got Right."
It ain't about them words - it's that heart He judges
Do you still love sin? Are you holdin' them grudges?

There's room at tha Cross if you ready to come
You can't really love Him 'til you know what He's done
Without wisdom of words I preach the Gospel of Christ
Cuz there's power in That Cross to bring a dead man life! |
