I CLING TO THE CROSS
And everything it means
I know it’s the only hope there is
For saving me
For without Your great mercy
I would be forever lost
With a thankful heart
I come and cling to the cross
Standing at the empty tomb
Promises I have in You arise
I was made alive in You
Everything You said was true
You suffered died and
Rose to bring us life
oh bring us life
For without Your great mercy
I would be forever lost
With a thankful heart I come
With a thankful heart I come
With a thankful heart I come
And cling to the cross
The world behind me
The cross before me
The world behind me
The cross before me
The world behind me
The cross before
No turning back no turning back
Brenton Brown & Paul Baloche
