Hallelujah for the Cross

It is a Good Friday, indeed. Hallelujah for the cross.

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

Hallelujah for the war He fought

Love has won, Death has lost

Hallelujah for the souls He bought

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
