When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Mighty To Save

Why?

Because He lives

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross ( Page 121)

When I survey the wondrous cross

on which the Lord of Glory diedMy richest gain I count but loss

and pour contempt on all my prideSee from his head, his hands, his feet,

sorrow and love flow mingled downDid e’er such love and sorrow meet

or thorns compose so rich a crown

…Above All (Crucified)…

Crucified, laid behind a stone.

You lived to die, rejected and aloneLike a rose, trampled on the ground,

You took the fall and thought of me above all.

(Repeat)

…Alas And Did My Saviour Bleed… (Page 115)

Was it for crimes that I have done,

he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown

and love beyond degreeBut drops of grief can ne’er repay

the debt of love I oweHere, Lord I give myself away,

‘tis all that I can do

… At the Cross…

At the cross, at the cross

where I first saw the light

and the burden of my heart rolled awayIt was there by faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day

(Repeat)

…There is Power in the Blood … (Page 251)

There is power, power, wonder working power, in the blood of the lamb

There is power, power, wondering working power in the precious blood of the lamb

…There is Power in the Blood…

Would you be whiter,

much whiter than snow,

there’s power in the blood

Sin stains are lost

in its life giving flow,

there’s power in the blood (4x)

…There is Power in the Blood…

There is power, power,

wonder working power,

in the blood of the lambThere is power, power,

wondering working power

in the precious blood of the lamb (2x)

In the precious blood of the lamb (2x)

Mighty To Save …

Everyone needs compassion,Love that's never failing;Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,The kindness of a Saviour;The Hope of nations.

… Mighty To Save …

Chorus

Saviour, He can move the mountains,My God is Mighty to save,He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,He rose and conquered the grave,Jesus conquered the grave.

… Mighty To Save…

So take me as You find me,All my fears and failures,Fill my life again.

 

I give my life to followEverything I believe in,Now I surrender.

… Mighty To Save …

Chorus

Saviour, He can move the mountains,My God is Mighty to save,He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,He rose and conquered the grave,Jesus conquered the grave.

… Mighty To Save…

Shine your light and let the whole world see,We're singing for the glory of the risen King

...Jesus (x2)

… Mighty To Save

Chorus

Saviour, He can move the mountains,My God is Mighty to save,He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,He rose and conquered the grave,Jesus conquered the grave.

Why? By

Michael Card Why did it have to be a friendWho chose to betray the LordWhy did he use a kiss to show themThat's not what a kiss is forOnly a friend can betray a friendA stranger has nothing to gainAnd only a friend comes close enoughTo ever cause so much pain

Why?...

And why did there have to be thornyCrown pressed upon His headIt should have been the royal oneMade of jewels and gold insteadIt had to be a crown of thornsBecause in this life that we liveFor all who seek to loveA thorn is all the world has to give

Why?... And why did it have to beA heavy cross He was made to bareAnd why did they nail His feet and handsHis love would have held Him thereIt was a cross for on a crossA thief was supposed to payAnd Jesus had come into the worldTo steal every heart awayYes, Jesus had come into the worldTo steal every heart away

Because He lives

God sent His son

They called Him Jesus

He came to love, heal and forgive

He lived and died to buy my pardon

An empty grave is there

to prove my Saviour lives

Because He lives…Because He lives,

I can face tomorrow

Because He lives,

all fear is gone

Because I know,

He holds the future

And life is worth the living,

just because He lives

Because He lives…

And then one day,

I’ll cross that river

I’ll fight life’s

final war with pain

And then, as death

gives way to victory

I’ll see the lights of glory

and I’ll know He lives

Because He lives…

Because He lives,

I can face tomorrow

Because He lives,

all fear is gone

Because I know,

He holds the future

And life is worth the living,

just because He lives

Have a Joyful Week
