At the Cross

                   At the Cross

Where can I take my guilt and shame?
Where can I be washed clean again?
Where can I lay the old life down? 
Where does eternal life begin? 
At the Cross!  At Calvary’s tree!
Where Jesus gave His life for me!

Where do I cease from fruitless works?
Where do I find the rest He gives?
Where does transformation take place?
Where is my life exchanged for His?
At the Cross!  At Calvary’s tree!
Where Jesus gave His life for me!

Where is mercy freely given?
Where do I hear God’s Word speaking?
Where do I find strength for living?
Where’s the Spirit’s faithful leading?
At the Cross!  At Calvary’s tree!
Where Jesus gave His life for me!

Face to the ground, weeping in grief;
Praises mounting on bended knee;
Standing up with hands lifted high;
All surrendered; this place I die.
Crucified with Him, no more strife;
I rise again redeemed for life.
No longer mine but His to claim;
By faith I live in Jesus name.

Why would I look anywhere else?
Why would I wander from this place?
Who in heaven have I but Thee?
Where on earth can I find such grace?
At the Cross!  At Calvary’s tree!
Where Jesus gave His life for me!
