It Wasn’t Just a Cross
Verse 1:
On your head a thorny crown
On your feet still Mary’s oil
You pulled your rugged cross
Across Golgotha’s soil
With heaven’s army held at bay
You suffered like you said
As they nailed you to the tree
Mary’s oil still on your feet
Crown of thorns upon your head
Verse 2:
They bartered for your clothes
While you ransomed for their lives
What looked a crim’nal’s death
Was heaven’s sacrifice
With final cry you breathed your last
As mourning mother wept
On a hill for all to see
Mary’s oil still on your feet
Crown of thorns upon your head
Chorus:
It wasn’t just a cross
Not just another grave
Our sin was left for dead
Our debt is fully paid
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It wasn’t just a cross
Verse 3:
Seemed hope was all but gone
In the ground your body lain
But that tomb when third day dawned
(cuts a bar)
Would be vacant once again
When you arose the angels roared
For the lamb had conquered death
Praise the resurrected king
Mary’s oil still on your feet
Crown of glory your head
Chorus:
It wasn’t just a cross
Not just another grave
Our sin was left for dead
Our debt is fully paid
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It wasn’t just a cross
Verse 4:
One day soon we’ll all be home
Every wrong will be made right
you’ll be dressed in crimson robes
As we wear our garments white
And We will join in heaven’s song
For all eternity
To the one whose blood was shed
Crown of glory on your head
Mary’s oil still on your feet
