When I look at Your cross
My eyes gush with tears
And
My heart is faint within me
To see my Lord suffering
To see my Lord in anguish
But
In the midst of my sadness
I remind myself and say
What a blessed moment
What a blessed day
When You have conquered death away
When You captured Satan and tied him up
When You revealed yourself to everyone
When You sat back on your throne again
Everyone cheered
Everyone rejoiced
Lord
You took the blame for me
You claiming me as your child You change my life forever
You gave me all the love that I need
You spared me from ultimate despair
You love me to the point of death
You open the gate for me to have a new life with you
So
I rejoice again
For the hope is to be with You
Thank You, Lord
For loving me so much
