Glory in the Cross

Verse 1
Let us ever glory in the cross of Christ
Our salvation and our hope
Let us bow in homage to the Lord of Life
Who was broken to make us whole
There is no greater love as blessed as this:
To lay down one's life for a friend
Let us ever glory in the cross of Christ
And the triumph of God's great loveVerse 2
Let us ever glory in the cross of Christ
Who is risen from the grave
He will come in glory to receive our hearts
At the dawn of the lasting day
For the trumpet will sound
The dead shall be raised
And death shall defeat us no more
Let us ever glory in the cross of Christ
And the triumph of God's great loveVerse 3
Let us raise our voices to the cross of Christ
Where the earth and heaven unite
God has wed creation on the tree of hope
Where the darkness becomes our light
Let us join in the dance of heaven and earth
Give thanks for the goodness of God
Let us ever glory in the cross of Christ
And the triumph of God's great love

Crown Him with
Many Crowns

Verse 1
Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee
And hail Him as thy matchless king
Through all eternityVerse ?
Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o'er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may dieVerse 2
Crown Him the Lord of love
Behold His hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight
But downward bends their burning eye
At mysteries so brightVerse 3
Crown Him the Lord of peace
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of glory now extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.Verse 4
Crown Him the Lord of years
The Potentate of time
Creator of the rolling spheres
Ineffably sublime
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity

Worthy is the Lamb

Verse 1
Thank You for the cross, Lord
Thank You for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace
Thank You for this love, Lord
Thank You for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embraceRefrain
Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus, Son of God
The darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
