A lonely hill (a lonely hill)
A rugged tree (a rugged tree)
Time stands still (time stands still) and waits
For my answer (and waits for my answer)
This sacrifice (this sacrifice)
Is calling me (is calling me)
To a life (to a life) of total surrender
(Of total surrender)
The power of the cross
Is moving in my life
'Cause the power of Your
Blood has saved me
The power of the cross
Still draws me to Your side
'Cause the power of Your
Love has changed me
Oh
Let my life be lost in the power of the cross
Lord most high (Lord most high)
Hope of man (hope of man)
You are mine (You are mine) my Redeemer
And Savior (Redeemer and Savior)
And all my days (all my days) are
In Your hand (are in Your hand)
All my praise (all my praise) will be Yours
Forever (will be Yours forever)
Where mercy was great
And grace was free
Where pardon was multiplied
To me
Where my burdens all
Found liberty
Hide me in the power
Of the cross
End
In the power of the cross in
The power of the cross
