Once Upon A Cross
Once there was a King
Who sat high upon His throne
The Ruler of the universe
God and God alone
But His heart was broken by a world
Held captive in their sin
A ransom must be paid
To redeem them back to Him
So God in His great wisdom
Revealed His master plan
It sent the Son of God
To become the Son of man
Once and for all the sacrifice for sin
Would finally be
Christ the perfect lamb upon the cross of Calvary
One single light of matchless grace
Brought hope to all mankind
One drop of sinless blood He raised
Our guilt for all of time
One man alone for mercy stands
Proclaiming to the lost
The way was made, the price was paid
Once upon a cross
Once the world could only wait
For the promise held by faith
To once and lonely Bethlehem
Messiah came to live with men
And once upon Golgotha's hill
He bowed beneath His Father's will
To satisfy redemption's cost
Once upon a cross
Who sat high upon His throne
The Ruler of the universe
God and God alone
But His heart was broken by a world
Held captive in their sin
A ransom must be paid
To redeem them back to Him
So God in His great wisdom
Revealed His master plan
It sent the Son of God
To become the Son of man
Once and for all the sacrifice for sin
Would finally be
Christ the perfect lamb upon the cross of Calvary
One single light of matchless grace
Brought hope to all mankind
One drop of sinless blood He raised
Our guilt for all of time
One man alone for mercy stands
Proclaiming to the lost
The way was made, the price was paid
Once upon a cross
Once the world could only wait
For the promise held by faith
To once and lonely Bethlehem
Messiah came to live with men
And once upon Golgotha's hill
He bowed beneath His Father's will
To satisfy redemption's cost
Once upon a cross
