Lyrics
Verse 1: I stand before the cross of Christ, Beneath His outstretched arms. I stand amazed at His loving grace, His care which never harms.
Verse 2: I stand before the cross of Christ, and feel guilt deep within. I stand in shame of the debt I owe, The deadly cost of sin.
Verse 3: I stand before the cross of Christ. His gift was so complete. I stand for Him as he stood for me. His will I gladly meet.
Verse 4: I stand before the cross of Christ, and hear Him say “forgive!” I stand redeemed by the sacrifice, And I shall always live.
Chorus: I stand before the cross. O what an awful cost! Looking up at Jesus as He died.
