This is the story of the cross The Father loved us oh so much That when we did our very worst Jesus gave His very best And He died for all of us This is the story of the cross That we were broken we were lost So then You built a bridge to us Took our hand led us across Oh I'll never know the cost If I said thank You a million times It's not enough But I'll sing praises for all my life 'Cause I'm in love with You Oh oh oh amazing grace Oh oh oh You took my place Oh oh oh now I am changed By Your mercy Your kindness This is the story of the cross ♪ This is the meaning of the cross That I am now a friend of God Even at my loneliest There's no greater love than this You took the nails to hold me close If I said thank You a million times It's not enough But I'll sing praises for all my life 'Cause I'm in love with You Oh oh oh amazing grace Oh oh oh You took my place Oh oh oh now I am changed By Your mercy Your kindness Oh oh oh amazing grace Oh oh oh You took my place Oh oh oh now I am changed By Your mercy Your kindness This is the story of the cross
