There is a beautiful terrible cross

Where though You committed no sin

Savior, You suffered the most wicked fate

On the cruelest creation of men

Yet on that beautiful terrible cross

You did what only You could

Turning that dark inspired evil of hell

Into our soul's greatest good

We see the love that You showed us

We see the life that You lost

We bow in wonder and praise You

For the beautiful terrible cross

There on that beautiful terrible cross

Though darkness was strong on that hill

You remained sovereign, Lord, still in control

As Your perfect plan was fulfilled

We see the love that You showed us

We see the life that You lost

We bow in wonder and praise You

For the beautiful terrible cross

Oh, we gained the riches of Heaven

Jesus, You paid the horrible cost

We stand forgiven and praise You

For the beautiful terrible cross

For the beautiful terrible cross

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river

Beautiful cross

Terrible cross

Beautiful cross

Terrible cross
