O Mighty Cross

O mighty cross love lifted high
The Lord of life raised there to die
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
A tree of life to me

O mighty cross what throne of grace
He knew no sin yet took my place
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
A tree of life to me

O mighty cross O Christ so pure
Love held Him there such shame endured
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
A tree of life to me

O mighty cross my soul’s release

The stripes He bore have brought me peace
His sacrifice on Calvary
Has made the mighty cross
A tree of life to me

O mighty cross
O mighty cross
O mighty cross
The tree of life to me
O mighty cross
