There is a beautiful, terrible cross
Although you committed no sin
Savior you suffered the most wicked fate
On the cruelest creation of men

Yet on that beautiful, terrible cross
You did what only you could
Turning that dark inspired evil of hell
Into our soul's greatest good!

We see the love that you've shown us
We see the life that you lost
We bow in wonder and praise you
For the beautiful, terrible cross

There on that beautiful, terrible cross
Though darkness was strong on that hill
You remained Sovereign, Lord still in control
Your perfect plan was fulfilled

We see the love that you've shown us
We see the life that you lost
We bow in wonder and praise you
For the beautiful, terrible cross

We gained the riches of heaven
Jesus you paid the horrible cost
We stand forgiven and praise you
For the beautiful, terrible cross

For the beautiful, terrible cross
