In the shadow of the glorious cross

Compelled by grace to cast my lot

I?ll discard the loss and bare your name

Forsaking all for your own fame

Your hymn of grace sung over me

Abounding forth in glorious streams

My thirst is quenched by you my Lord

Sustained am I redeemed restored

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When death?s dark shadow?s at my feet

When I am plagued by unbelief

You place my hands into your side

By precious blood identified

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

These crowns I?ve clenched with fisted hands

I cast them down before the throne

Of Christ my God the worthy lamb

Christ crucified, the Great I AM

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
