There is a beautiful terrible cross
Where though You committed no sin
Savior, You suffered the most wicked fate
On the cruelest creation of menYet on that beautiful terrible cross
You did what only You could
Turning that dark inspired evil of hell
Into our soul's greatest goodWe see the love that You showed us
We see the life that You lost
We bow in wonder and praise You
For the beautiful terrible crossThere on that beautiful terrible cross
Though darkness was strong on that hill
You remained sovereign, Lord, still in control
As Your perfect plan was fulfilledWe see the love that You showed us
We see the life that You lost
We bow in wonder and praise You
For the beautiful terrible crossOh, 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 crossIn the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the riverBeautiful cross
Terrible cross
Beautiful cross
Terrible cross
