At the cross Your body was cursed
You took the blame of the world on Yourself
And that’s when love defeated all fear
You brought me here
No more shame
You took it away and I’m breaking free
Born again
You make it all new and I take it in
The wonder of the cross is still enough
The sacrifice You brought is all I have
So I’m holding on to You
In everything I do Jesus I love you
(You are everything I’ll ever need)
You gave everything
Holding nothing back
You took my place and died for me
No sin or pain
Neither death nor life
Will separate me from Your love
