AS I GAZE UPON THE CROSS
And all my sinless Saviour bore
I will worship
I will bow down and adore
Nothing I could ever do
Could ever make You love me more
I surrender to the wonder of it all
And I reign in life
Through Your gift of grace
Now Your righteousness is my own
And the price is paid
Now You’ve made a way to come home
Into the arms of grace I run
When I cease from all my striving
You turn my water into wine
And I remember You alone can
Bring this change in me
Now for freedom I’m set free
Free to love my Saviour more
I will live for the glory of Your name
Never was a love so strong
Never was a love so true
Giving up Your only Son
To release me from the debt
I owed to You
Paul Oakley & Charlie Hall
