The Wonder of the Cross
Wonder of Redemption: A Melody of Grace and Sacrifice
Lyrics
Oh, precious sight, my Savior stands
Expressing awe at the sight of the Savior on the cross
Dying for me with outstretched hands
Acknowledging the Savior's sacrifice with outstretched hands
Oh, precious sight, I love to gaze
Expressing love for the profound sight of the Savior on the cross
Remembering salvation's day
Reflecting on the day of salvation
Remembering salvation's day
Repeating the emphasis on remembering salvation's day
Though my eyes linger on this scene
Expressing a desire for the impact of the scene to endure over time
May passing time and years not steal
Hoping that time won't diminish the power of the cross
The power with which it impacts me
Emphasizing the lasting impact and importance of the cross
The freshness of it's mystery
Highlighting the enduring mystery and significance of the cross
The freshness of it's mystery
Reiterating the enduring mystery of the cross
May I never lose the wonder
Expressing a desire to never lose the sense of wonder
The wonder of the cross
Reflecting on the wonder of the cross
May I see it like the first time
Expressing a desire to perceive the cross with the freshness of the first encounter
Standing as a sinner lost
Acknowledging one's standing as a lost sinner at the cross
Undone by mercy and left speechless
Feeling overwhelmed and silenced by mercy
Watching wide eyed at the cost
Observing with wide-eyed amazement the cost of the cross
May I never lose the wonder
Reiterating the desire to never lose the wonder of the cross
The wonder of the cross
Reflecting on the ongoing wonder of the cross
Behold the God man crucified
Contemplating the crucifixion of the God-man
The perfect sinless sacrifice
Describing Jesus as the perfect and sinless sacrifice
As blood ran down those nails and wood
Depicting the shedding of blood on the cross
History was split in two
Highlighting the historical significance of the crucifixion
Yes, history was split in two
Reiterating the splitting of history due to the cross
Behold the empty wooden tree
Contemplating the empty cross after Jesus' resurrection
His body gone, alive and free
Noting the absence of Jesus' body and celebrating His freedom
We sing with everlasting joy
Expressing joy in singing about the eternal victory over sin and death
For sin and death have been destroyed
Acknowledging the destruction of sin and death through the cross
Yeah, sin and death have been destroyed
Reiterating the destruction of sin and death
May I never lose the wonder
Repeating the desire to never lose the wonder of the cross
The wonder of the cross
Reflecting on the ongoing wonder of the cross
May I see it like the first time
Expressing a desire to see the cross with the freshness of the first encounter
Standing as a sinner lost
Acknowledging one's standing as a lost sinner at the cross
Undone by mercy and left speechless
Feeling overwhelmed and silenced by mercy
Watching wide eyed at the cost
Observing with wide-eyed amazement the cost of the cross
May I never lose the wonder
Reiterating the desire to never lose the wonder of the cross
The wonder of the cross
Reflecting on the ongoing wonder of the cross
May I never lose the wonder
Repeating the desire to never lose the wonder of the cross
The wonder of the cross
Reflecting on the ongoing wonder of the cross
