I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE CROSS
(a song of communion)

Lord, I'm grateful for the cross
Cruel cross that has set me free
Liberated through Your sacrifice
Death secured for me eternal life
Undeserving and unclean,
but Lord I do receive

Lord, I'm thankful for the blood
Precious blood that You shed for me
Cleansing fountain, wash my sins away
Full atonement for my deepest stains!
Sweet forgiveness, can it be?
Yes, humbly I receive

Lord, I praise You for Your love
Perfect love brings me home at last
Torn, the veil, now I may enter in
I will never be alone again,
Now and for eternity
I joyfully receive

Lord, I'm grateful for the cross
Cruel cross that has set me free
Liberated through Your sacrifice
Death secured for me eternal life
Undeserving and unclean,
but Lord I do receive
Liberated through Your sacrifice
Death secured for me eternal life
Undeserving and unclean,
but Lord I do receive.
