The Cross Of Christ

Simon Brading


Tom: G

C                 G             Am     Em
To Your knees You fell, in Gethsemane alone
C             G                   Am              Em
Weak and overhwhelmed, yet cried ‘not my will but Yours’

[Verse 2]
C                G                Am            Em
Twisted crown of thorns, You were crucified and cursed
C                G              Am          Em
Drank the cup in full, bore the horrors I deserved

[Pre chorus]
     C               D
This saving blood is life to me
     Em                Am
This perfect love paid everything

[Chorus]
          C                  Em
All of my failings Jesus has taken
     G            D
With open arms at Calvary
          C                  Em
Oh what a Saviour! Sing hallelujah!
     G                    D
With open arms I stand in awe

[Verse 3]
C               G                 Am                Em
All my shameful thoughts, foolish choices that I’ve made
     C                G                Am              Em
Were hammered to that cross, You said ‘I will take the blame’

[Verse 4]
C             G            Am              G
Sing aloud my soul, for my hope is in this Man
C                 G/B        Am          G
Death has been destroyed and eternity is mine!

[Chorus]
          C        D    Em          D/F# G                    D
Oh what a Saviour! Sing hallelujah! With open arms I stand in awe
          C        D    Em          D/F# G                    D
Oh what a Saviour! Sing hallelujah! With open arms I stand in awe
