This is the story of the cross
The Father loved us, oh so much
That when we did our very worst
Jesus gave His very best
And He died for all of us
This is the story of the cross
That we were broken, we were lost
So then You built a bridge to us
Took our hand, led us across
Oh, I'll never know the cost
If I said, thank You a million times
It's not enough
But I'll sing praises for all my life
'Cause I'm in love with You
Oh oh oh, amazing grace
Oh oh oh, You took my place
Oh oh oh, now I am changed
By Your mercy, Your kindness
This is the story of the cross
This is the meaning of the cross
That I am now a friend of God
Oh, even at my loneliest
There's no greater love than this
You took the nails to hold me close
If I said, thank You a million times
It's not enough
But I'll sing praises for all my life
'Cause I'm in love with You
Oh oh oh, amazing grace
Oh oh oh, You took my place
Oh oh oh, now I am changed
By Your mercy, Your kindness, Lord
Oh oh oh, amazing grace
Oh oh oh, You took my place
Oh oh oh, now I am changed
By Your mercy, Your kindness
This is the story of the cross
This is the story of the cross
The Father loved us, oh so much
That when we did our very worst
Jesus gave His very best
And He died for all of us
