By the Way of the Cross
by Sisters

Album: Renewed

Condemned to die on a cross
For crimes He had done
He was guilty, everyone could see
But His destiny was changed
When He looked at Christ and said
"When Your Kingdom comes
Remember me"

In paradise that day He stood
Just like the Lord had said He would
Surrounded by those who had gone before
One said, "Friend, how did you come?
What are the deeds you have done?"
With tears in His eyes, I can hear Him reply
"There are no merits to My name
No works that I can claim
He who brought me here told me to say"

I have come by the way of the cross
I have come by the way of the cross
It is nothing I have done
It's the suffering of God's Son
I have come by the way of the cross

I have nothing to claim
But my guilt and my shame
I was hopelessly lost
And could not find my way
'Til His glorious light of love
Shone down on me
His mercy washed all my sin away
And what He did for me that day
Was a price I know He paid
By His grace, I too can say, forever say

I have come by the way of the cross
I have come by the way of the cross
It is nothing I have done
It's the suffering of God's Son
I have come by the way

I see millions gathered 'round the throne
From every kindred and tongue
Those redeemed by the blood of the lamb
And as they cast their crowns down at His feet
This will be their story
This will be their song

We have come by the way of the cross
We have come by the way of the cross
It is nothing we have done
It's the suffering of God's Son
We have come by the way
Come by the way
There is no other way, but the cross
By the cross, the cross
