O suffering Christ
Our humble King
You bore my shame
Became my sin
You gave your life
That I might live
Saviour, thank You for the cross
O boundless love
Un-measured, free
No greater love
Could die for me
Amazing Grace
How can this be?
Saviour, thank You for the cross
When I survey, the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain, I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
And pour contempt on all my pride
O precious blood
O crimson flow
My sin-stained heart
Now white as snow
In blood You bought me
This I know!
Saviour, thank You for the cross
O Risen Christ
Our Glorious King
From death to life
Our future sealed
Now seated high
Above all things
Saviour, thank You for the cross
