TURN MY FACE AGAIN TOWARDS THE CROSS
On the mount of Calvary
Take me back again to ponder on
The life you gave; the price you paid to save me
Kneel me down again before the cross
Where they pierced your hands and feet
King so humble in a crown of thorns
The scars you wear were mine to bear forever
Oh Jesus I could never be the same
I’m changed for evermore
Your sacrifice, the key to life for all mankind
You did it once and for all
Lead me to the place your body lay
Where the stone lies rolled away
Clothed in majesty and victory
You rose again and death is slain forever
You did it once for all
You did it once for all
You did it once for all
You did it once for all
Martyn Layzell
