I will boast only in the cross
Where my Saviour died for me
Nothing else no other love
Goes so far and runs so deep
I will boast only in the cross
See His head His hands and feet
Scars of grace the scars that heal
He broke the curse and set me free
Only One took the nails
Only One tore the veil
Only One spotless Lamb
I will boast only in the cross
(I will boast only in the cross)
I will boast only in the cross
The Father’s love at Calvary
My sin erased my debt He paid
This is my hope the song I sing
This is my hope the song I sing
