what easter is really about.

long before the world's creation, You chose a people for Yourself
You knew the times and places we'd be born
though we'd chosen separation, You already had a plan
to reconcile Your children through the cross

look, the Lamb of God who takes away our sins!

thank You thank You for Your love that saved us Jesus
thank You thank You for the cross!
with our hearts on fire and our hands raised high
we're singing thank You thank You for the cross
thank You thank You for the cross!

Yours the life that transformed history, Yours the truth that sets us free
we stand before You now on holy ground
overshadowed by Your glory, held in everlasting arms
Your life and death turned everything around

look, the Lamb of God who takes away our sins!

thank You thank You for Your love that saved us Jesus

thank You thank You for the cross!

with our hearts on fire and our hands raised high

we're singing thank You thank You for the cross

thank You thank You for the cross!

You have rescued us, bought us with Your blood, thank You for the cross!
