(The cross is our salvation A harbour in the raging sea
The sign of love that reconciled Heaven and earth eternally) x2
God showed His justice and grace And gave us His victory
In the middle of the storm The cross lets us live peacefully
(The Cross is a doctrine of our church Passed down through her history
In her prayers and her rites On the cross God showed His mercy) x2
Through it prophecies were fulfilled God loved us endlessly
He redeemed us on the Cross Now we live eternally
(We are more than conquerors Through Him who loved us) x2
