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
The cross, oh, the wonderful cross
What glory, what victory I've found
I'll come to the wonderful cross
And my whole life I lay down
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
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 forever more
