The Wonder of Your Cross

The wonder of Your cross
Shall be our meditation
To gather in that shadow
When 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 the 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'll 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 forevermore"
(repeat chorus)
