===Lyrics===
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 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
Jesus Christ the sinner's friend
Does this kindness know no bounds
