Consider the Cross lyrics

When I see the cross You carried
To the crest of Calvary
The symbol of Your suffering
Seems beautiful to me
On a day filled with injustice
When the cup You drank was bitter
All that I can see is love
Whenever I consider...

The cross, the cross
The precious old cross
Where You took all my sin
And You covered the cost
And apart from Your mercy
My gain is loss
When I consider the cross
Oh, when I consider the cross

So, take all of my successes
Any honor I have won
I lay down everything here
Before what You have done
'Cause my life is not my own now
Lord, I see You as the giver
And I will spend eternity
So grateful to consider...
The cross, the cross
The precious old cross
Where You took all my sin
And You covered the cost
And apart from Your mercy
My gain is loss
When I consider the cross
Oh, when I consider the cross

I will dwell upon the crown You wore
The nails that caused Your scars
All other scenes will pale beside
What's burning in my heart
In my heart

The cross, the cross
The precious old cross
Where You took all my sin
And You covered the cost
And apart from Your mercy
My gain is loss
When I consider the cross
When I consider the cross
