But For The Cross
by The LeFevre Quartet

All that I am... all I will be... I owe it all to Calvary
For there on that hill... there in my place
My pardon was purchased... my guilt was erased

Still stained with blood... it stands today
And cries, forgiven, atonement made
All who are bound... can kneel and go free
For mercy still flows down that old rugged tree

But for a cross, but for a thorny crown
I would be lost, no hope of being found
For I could not pay, redemption's cost
Where would I be today, but for the cross

One day, I'll stand... on heaven's shore
Praising the Lamb... I've long adored
In one mighty voice... that heavenly throng
Will gather around Him and join in a song!

But for a cross, but for a thorny crown
I would be lost, no hope of being found
For I could not pay, redemption's cost
Where would I be today, but for the cross

I could not pay... redemption's cost!
Where would I be today, but for the cross
But for the cross!
