Beautiful Terrible Cross

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 souls' 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.

We gained the riches of heaven,

Jesus, You paid the horrible cost

We stand forgiven and praise You
for the beautiful terrible cross.
