Music and words by Ross King and Todd Wright
Up to the hill of Calvary,
My Savior went courageously,
And there He bled and died for me.
Hallelujah for the cross!
And on that day the world was changed;
A final perfect lamb was slain.
Let earth and heaven now proclaim:
Hallelujah for the cross!
Hallelujah for the war He fought.
Love has won, death has lost!
Hallelujah for the souls He bought.
Hallelujah for the cross!
What good I've done could never save,
My debt too great for deeds to pay,
But God, my Savior, made a way.
Hallelujah for the cross!
A slave to sin, my life was bound,
But all my chains fell to the ground
When Jesus' blood came flowing down.
Hallelujah for the cross!
And when I breathe my final breath,
I'll have no need to fear that rest.
This hope will guide me into death:
Hallelujah for the cross!
