I Come to the Cross

I come to the cross, to be forgiven, 

My sins on the Sinless One laid!

The debt I owed I could not fulfil,

But through Him my debt is paid.

To the cross, to the cross,
I come to the old rugged cross. 
For my sins, to be cleansed, 
By the blood of the Lamb
To the cross, to the cross
I come.

I come to the cross, to gain my dress;

Naked, He covers my shame.

My chains are loosed, I am set free,

Jesus, My Saviour, His Name.

I come to the cross, my burdens lift, 

My guilty soul, bears guilt no more.

His blood avails, I am at peace.

He is Heaven's Eternal Door!

I come to the cross, the place of wrath;

The punishment, meant for me,

Was laid upon my Saviour dear,

As He hung there at Calvary
