But for the Cross of Christ

 

 But for the Cross of Christ 

 Bryan Fowler

Vs 1

What is the truth

That ever anchors me

Amidst the waves of all my guilt

That Christ has shed

His blood and pardoned me

At the cross, at the cross

Vs 2

He bore my sin

I bear His righteousness

Oh what a glorious exchange

The wrath of God

Laid on the spotless Lamb

Oh what grace, oh what grace

Chorus

Behold the cross

There is no greater love

Heaven’s Son

Laid down His life for us

Oh my soul would be lost

With no hope to find

But for the cross of Christ

Vs 3

How do I walk

With humble confidence

I look to Christ Who is my peace

He sealed my hope

And my inheritance

At the cross, at the cross

Vs 4

When I am weak

And stumble into sin

There is an ever-flowing stream

His cleansing blood revives my soul again

Oh what grace, oh what grace

Vs 5

One day I’ll stand

Before the King of Kings

One day I’ll see him face to face

For Jesus rose

Death lost its bitter sting

Christ has won! Christ has won!
