[Verse 1a]
Long my soul has waited for You
Bound by sin and nature's night
But in the secret, I will find You
A mighty ray of holy light

[Verse 2]
Oh, these chains were sweetly broken
Bound by shame, You set me free
Perfect love, my fear was stolen
When Thou, my Jesus, died for me

[Chorus]
By the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought at the highest price
And every fear was lost, every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross, He took my place

[Verse 3]
All my heart I lay before Thee
To sound the depths of love divine
So free, so infinite, Your glory
That I am Yours and You are mine

[Chorus]
By the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought at the highest price
And every fear was lost, every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross, He took my place
Oh, by the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought at the highest price
And every fear was lost, every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross, He took my place, yeah
[Bridge]
Then sings my soul, then cries my heart
'Til Kingdom come, 'til Heavens part
'Til He returns or calls me home
I'll praise the name of Christ alone
Then sings my soul, then cries my heart
'Til Kingdom come, 'til Heavens part
'Til He returns or calls me home
I'll praise the name of Christ alone
I'll praise the name of Christ alone

[Verse 1b]
Long my soul has waited for You
Bound by sin and nature's night
But in the secret, I will find You
A mighty flood of holy light
Yeah, yeah, yeahh

[Chorus]
And by the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought at the highest price
And every fear was lost, every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross, He took my place
And by the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought at the highest price
And every fear was lost, every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross, He took my place
When Jesus took the cross, He took my place
