Tauren Wells' song 'Thank You for the Cross' is a worship anthem centered on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The lyrics vividly depict the scene at Calvary, with the perfect Lamb of God between two thieves, the grief of Mary, and the cosmic darkness at the moment of sacrifice. The song expresses profound gratitude for the cross, acknowledging that without it, the singer would be lost. It celebrates the victory of the risen King over hell and death, and extends thanks to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for their love and the hope of what lies ahead. The repeated refrain of thankfulness underscores the central theme of redemption through Christ's sacrifice.

Two thieves
The perfect Lamb of God between
A broken-hearted mother at His feet
The pain of it all for me
The Earth shakes
Darkness falls, the Father hides His face
His body hits the dust of a borrowed grave
You paid it all for me, for me
I thank You, thank You
Thank You for the cross
I praise You, praise You
Without it I'd be lost
There's no love like Your love
A thousand songs are not enough
To say thank You, thank You for the cross
Oh, thank You, Jesus
My victory
Bursting from the grave, my risen King
The sacrifice for love was Hell's defeat, oh, yes it was
You won it all for me, oh yes, you did
Hey
I thank You, thank You
Thank You for the cross
I praise You, praise You
Without it I'd be lost
There's no love like Your love
A thousand songs are not enough
To say thank You, thank You for the cross
Oh yeah
Oh, thank You, Jesus
For the Father, for the Son
For the power of Your love
For the Spirit that's in us
For the blood that overcomes
For Your life, for Your death
For the hope that's still ahead
We sing thank You, thank You
For the Father, for the Son
For the power of Your love
For the Spirit that's in us
For the blood that overcomes
For Your life and for Your death
For the hope that's still ahead
We sing thank You for the cross
I thank You, thank You, thank You for the cross
I praise You, praise You, without it I'd be lost
There's no love like Your love
A thousand songs are not enough
I sing thank You, thank You, thank You for the cross
I praise You, praise You, without it I'd be lost
There's no love like Your love
A thousand songs are not enough
There's no love like Your love
A thousand songs are not enough
There's no love like Your love
A thousand songs are not enough
To say thank You, thank You for the cross
