I Thank You for the Cross

My life lived for only me
My days spent so sinfully
My heart was dark, my eyes too blind to see
My pride destroying me
Your life, sent for sin to die
Your blood shed to justify
Upon the cross, My ransom to afford
This sinners great reward
Thank You, Jesus, for the cross
Thank You for the price You paid for us
Giving up Your life to save the lost
Thank You, Jesus, for the cross
The crown placed upon Your head
The nails meant for me instead
Your death became the only way to life
For me to live is Christ
You knew no sin, but You became sin
The great sacrifice
so we’d become the righteousness of God
