The Wonder Of Your Cross
The wonder of Your Cross
Shall be our meditation
To gather in that shadow
As the sun went down
To weep with those
Who thought that You were leaving
You were leaving Jesus
The humble King
Who never wore an earthly crown
To steal away at night
When they took down Your body
With love and tears
To leave You in a borrowed grave
To go with Mary to that place they laid You
Where they laid You Jesus
And in the morning
Find the stone was rolled away
Chorus
The cross O the wonderful cross
What glory what victory I've found
I'll come to the wonderful cross
And my whole life I lay down
Were heaven's praises
Silent in those hours of darkness
Your Holy Spirit brooding
'Round that empty throne
Until the declaration He is risen
You are risen Jesus
He is not dead
Behold He lives for evermore
