Matt Redman For The Cross Lyrics

For The Cross Lyrics

I will love you for the cross

And I will love you for the cost

Man of sufferings

Bringer of my peace



You came into a world of shame

And paid the price we could not pay

Death that brought me life

Blood that brought me home

Death that brought me life

Blood that brought me home



Chorus:

And I love you for the cross

I'm overwhelmed by the mystery

I love you for the cost

That Jesus you would do this for me



When you were broken, you were beaten, 

You were punished, I go free

You were wounded and rejected

In your mercy - I am healed



Jesus Christ the sinners friend

Does this kindness know no bounds

With your precious blood you have purchased me



Oh the mystery of the cross

You were punished you were crushed

But that punishment has become my peace

Yes that punishment has become my peace



Chorus



By your wounds I am healed



For the cross, for the cross, for the cross I thank you

Oh Lord, for the cross, for the cross



Chorus
