Lyrics:
IT TOOK A CROSS
Nancy Blandford, Kerry Buck, Shirley Nagel
VERSE 1
A mother’s eyes were filled with tears
She had held His hand for years
But His hands are held by rusty nails today
Why didn’t He resist?
Did it have to end to this?
Couldn’t there have been another way?
CHORUS
It took a cross to crucify my Savior
It took a cross to change the course of time
A rough and rugged tree held heaven’s perfect King
To make a way for you and me it took a cross
VERSE 2
The Father knew this day would come
When He’d offer up His Son
In a scene so cruel He’d turn His face away
But to pay sin’s awful price
Would demand a sacrifice
That Christ, the spotless Lamb, would have to pay
BRIDGE
Lifted up just like the prophets said
Pierced for me, the one who should have been condemned
