[VERSE 1]
G            Em      Am7                D7  G      C/E   G   C/E
  The wonder of your cross shall be our meditation
G           Em      Am7             D7       G     C/E   G   C/E
  To gather in that shadow when the sun went down
D              Am        D7                    Em                C
  To weep with those who thought that You were leaving, You were leaving, Jesus,
G            Em       Am7           Am7   D7  G   C   G     G   C   G
  The humble King who never wore an earth-ly crown. 
 
 
[VERSE 2]
G           Em     Am7                  D7        G    C/E   G   C/E
  To steal away at night when they took down your body
G               Em       Am7            D7       G     C/E   G   C/E
  With love and tears to leave You in a borrowed grave
D            Am   D7                Em                   C
  To go with Mary to the place they laid You, Where they laid You, Jesus
G            Em      Am7                Am7    D7  G   C   G
  And in the morning find the stone was rolled a - way.

The cross, O the wonderful cross
     C           G/B           D    Dsus4    D    G/B
What glory, what victory, I've found

I'll come to the wonderful cross
G/B  D   C    Em   C   D   G   C   G     G   C   G
And  my whole life I  lay down.

G               Em      Am7             D        G       C/E   G   C/E
  Were heaven's praises silent in those hours of darkness,
G           Em     Am7                 D     G     C/E   G   C/E
  Your Holy Spirit brooding round that empty throne?
D           Am    D7           Em              C
  Until the declaration "He is Risen", You are risen, Jesus,
G           Em      Am7               Am7 D7  G    C    G
 "He is not dead, behold He lives for e - ver-more"!

The cross, O the wonderful cross

What glory, what victory, I've found
     C           G/B       D     Dsus4    D
I'll come to the wonderful cross
G/B  D   C    Em   C   D   G   C   G     G   C   G
And  my whole life I  lay down.
