At the Cross

At The Cross(Song lyrics by Selah on You Amaze Us, 2014 Curb Productions, Inc.)

Lead vocalist on this song, Amy Perry, writes: “I fell in love with this song from the very first line. I listened to it over and over and could not get it out of my head. There is something so beautiful in really being able to understand the trade that was made by Jesus. His glory bore my shame. He suffered in my place. In the song, it’s stated so simply and yet the idea is so profound. He gave everything for us at the cross.”

You have made a place

Where love and wrath run wild
The penalty and grace are finally reconciled
You have made a way

The broken can be whole again

At the cross
Your glory bore my shame
At the cross
You suffered in my place
You gave everything for us
At the cross

Dark and sacred hill

Where violence purchased peace
The innocent was bound

To set the captives free
There You made a way

The lost are welcomed home again

At the cross
Your glory bore my shame
At the cross
You suffered in my place
You gave everything for us
At the cross


The Prince of Heaven died
At the cross
Death became a lie
You gave everything for us
You gave everything for us

Mercy there was great

And grace was free
Pardon there was multiplied to me
There my burdened soul found liberty
At the cross

At the cross
Your glory bore my shame

At the cross
You suffered in my place
You gave everything for us
At the cross


The Prince of Heaven died
At the cross
Death became a lie
You gave everything for us
You gave everything for us
At the cross
