Before the cross I kneel

And see the measure of my sin

How You became a curse for me

Though You were innocent

The magnitude of Your great love

Was shown in full degree

When righteous blood, The crimson spill

Rained down from Calvary

Oh the precious blood

That flowed from Mercy's side

Washed away my sin when Christ my Savior died

Oh the precious blood of Christ the crucified

It speaks for me before Your throne

Where I stand justified

And who am I that I should know

This treasure of such worth

My Savior's pure atoning blood

Shed for the wrath I'd earned

For sin has stained my every deed

My every word and thought

What wondrous love that makes me one

Your priceless blood has bought

Bridge

A crown of thorns, Pierced hands and feet

A body bruised, And Mercy's plea
