Kees Kraayenoord - For The Cross

A crown of many thorns,
a body bruised and torn
For all Your pain I bow in shame,
and I cannot ignore
It's my hands that placed that crown,
my heart that weighed You down
my voice that shouted 'crucify'

How can i comprehand
that life can come from death
That all the wounds by cruel nails
can heal my brokenness
It was love so merciful
Your love so beautiful
Pure love that hides me in Your heart. Chorus:
And I say, thank You, thank You for the cross
thank You, thank You for the cross
Hallelujah, thank You for the cross
Jesus,thank You thank You for the cross

Now I stand holy,healed,forgiven;
and I raise my hands
towards the wondrous cross
