WE WILL LOOK TO THE CROSS
We will find there the pow’r of God
We will look to the cross
We will find there our saving love
Through the cross
You’ve disarmed our fear
Through risen life we live
How you won us through the cross!
Bought us freedom at the cross!
How we thankyou for the cross!
O Your love, excelling love, for us
We will look to the cross
We will find there unending grace
We will look to the cross
We will find there our perfect peace
Love divine, all loves excelling
Joy of Heaven came down to earth
Love divine, all loves excelling
Joy of Heaven came down for us
