What can take a dying man
And raise him up to life again
What can heal the wounded soul
What can make us white as snow
What can fill the emptiness
What can mend our brokenness, brokenness
Mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the Holy cross
Where the Lamb lay down His life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is the power of the cross
What restores our faith in God
What reveals the Father’s love
What can lead the wayward home
What can melt a heart of stone
What can free the guilty ones
What can save and overcome, overcome
It’s a miracle to me
It’s a miracle to me
It’s still a mystery
And it’s still a mystery
It’s a miracle to me
The power of God
For those who believe
Mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the holy cross
Where the Lamb lay down His life
To lift us from the fall.
Oh and mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the holy cross
Where the Lamb lay down His life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is the power of
Mighty is the power of
Mighty is the power of the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
I love the cross
I love the cross
It’s a powerful cross
What can take a dying man (thank You Jesus)
And raise him up to life again (thank You Jesus)
Worship You Jesus (wonderful cross)
By Your wounds we are healed
By Your wounds we are saved
Mighty is the power of the cross (mighty is the power of the cross)
Mighty is the power of the cross (mighty is the power of the cross)
Thank You Jesus
For the holy cross
Oh..
