To the cross He walked in silence
Like a lamb led to be slain
He was worthy of glory and honor
But He chose to carry our shame
Oh what love, what endless compassion
That compelled Him to go all the way

Chorus:
To the cross, to the cross
To give life to the dying
His blood was ransomed for love's greatest cost
For all that was hopeless and all that was lost
He was willing to go to the cross
He was willing to go to the cross

Our debt fell heavy upon Him
He was crushed by the weight of our sin
Though the suffering appeared to be outward
The greatest pain was within
For every sin, disease, and each affliction
Every sorrow he carried with Him

CHORUS

Satan despises the symbol of mercy
That tore down the strongholds of sin
Though all of Hell's armies
Would still march against it
The victory is given again
And again

CHORUS
