VERSE 1:
I shall hold
To the cross
I shall hold
To God alone
For His love
Has salvaged me
For His love
Has set me free
CHORUS:
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
Whosoever believes
Will not perish
They shall have eternal life
VERSE 2:
I shall wait
Upon the Lord
I shall wait
Upon His Word
By His grace
I am released
By His grace
I am redeemed
BRIDGE:
By His precious blood
I have been set free
For the glory of Jesus' Name
I surrender all
Now to Christ alone
In Jesus I am saved
