In the Cross Alone I Glory

Music and words by Brian Petak


In the cross alone I glory,
Recognition laying down.
Greatest treasures count as worthless,
Standing next to heaven's crowns,
Standing next to heaven's crowns.

In the cross alone I glory;
Nothing of my own I give.
Only that which Christ has offered
For my soul that I may live,
For my soul that I may live.

In the cross alone I glory,
Ever reaching for the prize.
Pressing on and laying hold of
That for which my Savior died,
That for which my Savior died.

In the cross alone I glory,
Holding fast the word of life.
Toiling not in vain, but being
Poured out as a sacrifice,
Poured out as a sacrifice.

Never will I seek the glory
That was never meant for me.
Always heavenward reflecting,
All to Jesus to receive,
All to Jesus to receive.
