Lifted off FFH’s stellar Have I Ever Told You CD, which also spawned its phenomenal Open Up the Sky single, On My Cross is one of the most moving Easter songs you ever will hear. Sung in the same vein as Avalon’s The Glory, I trust On My Cross’ message of God’s unconditional love and Jesus’ supreme sacrifice will move you this Lenten season.
Lyrics to FFH’s On My Cross after the jump.
On My Cross Lyrics
FFH
How wide is Your love
That You would stretch Your arms
And go around the world
And why for me would a Savior’s cry be heard
I don’t know
Why You went where I was meant to go
I don’t know
Why You love me so
Those were my nails
That was my crown
That pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my thorns
Those were my scorns
Those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
After You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame
On my cross
How deep is Your grace
That you could see my need
And chose to take my place
And then for me, these words I’d hear You say
Father no
Forgive them for they know not what they do
I will go
Because I love them so
