Victory Songs ‎#229

229. At the Cross.

1 Alas and did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sov'reign die,
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart roll'd away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day.

2 Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groan'd upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown!
And love beyond degree. [Chorus]
