HERE BENEATH THE CROSS;what love is this I see
How beautiful the sacrifice of Christ for me
How deep the healing wounds that pierced Your heart for mine
The blood that flows through history the sinner finds
Amazing love how can it be
That You my God would die for me
Hallelujah hallelujah
Amazing love amazing love amazing love
Here beneath the cross my glory I lay down
For I will sing of Jesus Christ and His renown
He has conquered death the stone was rolled away
My God arose in victory and He reigns today
Here beneath the cross I’ll rest for all my days
Buried with my Saviour then forever raised
