[Verse 1]
There is a beautiful, terrible cross
Where, though You committed no sin,
Savior, You suffered the most wicked fate
On the cruelest creation of man.
Yet, on that beautiful, terrible cross
You did what only You could:
Turning that dark inspired [F/C]evil of hell
Into our soul’s greatest good.
We see the love that You showed us,
We see the life that You lost.
We bow in wonder and praise You
For the [C/G]beautiful, terrible cross.
[Verse 2]
There on that beautiful, [F/C]terrible cross,
Though darkness was strong on that hill,
You remained sovereign, Lord, still in control
As Your perfect plan was fulfilled.
We see the love that You showed us,
We see the life that You lost.
We bow in wonder and praise You
For the [C/G]beautiful, terrible cross.
[Chorus 2]
[C/E]Oh, we gained the riches of heaven.
Jesus, You paid the horrible cost.
We stand forgiven, and praise You
For the [C/G]beautiful, terrible cross,
For the [C/G]beauriful, terrible cross.
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever.
’Til my raptured soul shall find
Peace beyond the river.
Beautiful cross, terrible cross,
Beautiful cross, terrible cross.
