My only hope the reason I can stand
Comes from the blood that flows from nail-pierced hands
I will not fear for You will never change
I bow at the cross the cross that bears Your Name
Forgive me Lord I know not what I do
But when I fall Your mercy’s ever new
I will not fear for You took all the blame
I run to the cross the cross that bears Your Name
Jesus Jesus
Your precious blood has washed my guilt and shame
Jesus Jesus
I hold onto the cross that bears Your Name
Jesus keep me near the cross there a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream flows from Calvary’s mountain
