O mighty cross, Love lifted high The Lord of life raised there to die; His sacrifice on Calvary Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me. O mighty cross, what throne of grace. He knew no sin, yet took my place; His sacrifice on Calvary Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me. O mighty cross, O Christ so pure. Love held Him there, such shame endured; His sacrifice on Calvary Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me. O mighty cross, my soul's release, The stripes He bore, have brought me peace; His sacrifice on Calvary Has made the mighty cross a tree of life to me.
