Oh the beauty of the rugged cross 

Drenched in mercy ever cleansing blood 

There my sins forever swept away 

In that torrent of that crimson blood 


Oh wonderous love that called me out by name 

The one who made it all died to make a way 

And every earthly gain I will count as loss 

I am redeemed, that's the beauty of the cross 


O the healing of the rugged cross 

Flowing down from mercy's violent wounds

Every wound and every sacred scar 

Laid on Him so I could be made new


Oh wonderous love that called me out by name 

The one who made it all died to make a way 

And every earthly gain I will count as loss 

I am redeemed, that's the beauty of the cross 


Oh the beauty of the rugged cross


Oh the power of the rugged cross 

Where he crushed the vile serpent's head 

There my victory broke the curse of sin 

Three days later curse the sting of death


Oh wonderous love that called me out by name 

The one who made it all died to make a way 

And every earthly gain I will count as loss 

I am redeemed, that's the beauty of the cross
