I saw your cross on the hill that day
All blood and tears, take my breath away
By your tomb I knelt and prayed
Someone rolled your stone away
A man you were of Adam’s clay
Your body they just tossed away
But then you rose on the third day
Bearing my cross, took my sins away

And I believe we have received
The gift to have our sins relieved
And I have heard the blessed word
Of all the trials you endured
In you I pray each ev’ry day
Thanks to you
I will live forever with you

You stayed with us at the end of the day
Breaking bread, take my breath away
Even Thomas, who doubted, could say
Your broken body gave you away
From where it all started in Galilee
To where we are now and more years away
Christians living ev’ry day
To spread your light, to show them the way

Lamb of God who takes our sins away
