Sabbath Rest – But for the Cross

Maybe you’ve heard this hymn before – but it’s new to me! What a great promise –
Oh my soul would be lost
With no hope to find
But for the cross of Christ

LYRICS:
Vs 1
What is the truth
That ever anchors me
Amidst the waves of all my guilt
That Christ has shed
His blood and pardoned me
At the cross, at the cross

Vs 2
He bore my sin
I bear His righteousness
Oh what a glorious exchange
The wrath of God
Laid on the spotless Lamb
Oh what grace, oh what grace

Chorus
Behold the cross
There is no greater love
Heaven’s Son
Laid down His life for us
Oh my soul would be lost
With no hope to find
But for the cross of Christ

Vs 3
How do I walk
With humble confidence
I look to Christ Who is my peace
He sealed my hope
And my inheritance
At the cross, at the cross

Vs 4
When I am weak
And stumble into sin
There is an ever-flowing stream
His cleansing blood revives my soul again
Oh what grace, oh what grace

Vs 5
One day I’ll stand
Before the King of Kings
One day I’ll see him face to face
For Jesus rose
Death lost its bitter sting
Christ has won! Christ has won!

But for the Cross of Christ
