I Will Love You for the Cross (lyrics)

"(A song by Matt Redman)"

I will love you for the cross

And I will love you for the cost

Man of sufferings, bringer of my peace

You came into a world of shame

And paid the price we could not pay

Death that brought me life

Blood that brought me home

Death that life, blood that brought me home

And I love you for the cross

I'm overwhelmed by the mystery

I love you for the cross

That Jesus you would do this for me

When you were broken

You were beaten

You were punished

I go free

When you were wounded

And rejected

In your mercy

I am healed

Jesus Christ the sinner's friend

Does this kindness know no bounds

With your precious blood you have purchased me

On the mystery of the cross

You were punished, you were crushed

But that punishment has become my peace

Yes that punishment has become my peace

And I love you for the cross

I'm overwhelmed by the mystery

I love you for the cost

That Jesus you would do this for me

When you were broken

You were beaten

You were punished

I go free

When you were wounded

And rejected

In your mercy

I am healed

By your word I am healed

For the cross I thank you

And I love you for the cross...
