lyrics

For my sake, you took on flesh and made a way
where there was no way
And only grace could reach me in my hopelessness and shame

To the hill, you carried that shame, embracing death,
where only you could reclaim what was lost
You stretched your hands and gave it all for me

On that rugged cross you have saved me, you have saved me
On that rugged cross you broke everything that once chained me
On that rugged cross you have saved me, you have saved me
On that rugged cross you broke everything that once chained me

From the grave, you rose up, and for your Church
you're coming again
For your own, you died and rose to set all people free
For your love, we will return, become the bride you've always deserved
For your glory, it was you and you alone upon the tree

On that rugged cross you have saved me, you have saved me
On that rugged cross you broke everything that once chained me
On that rugged cross you have saved me, you have saved me
On that rugged cross you broke everything that once chained me

Whoa, whoa

Oh, how great the love
How great the love of Christ our King
Oh, how great the love
How great the love of Christ our King
Oh, how great the love
How great the love of Christ our King
Oh, how great the love
How great the love of Christ our King
Oh, how great the love
How great the love of Christ our King
Oh, how great the love
How great the love of Christ our King
