Encounter at the Cross (Cinematic Hillsong-Style)

Verse 1

I came with empty hands and a heart worn thin

The weight of every yesterday still pressing in

Then I lifted up my eyes to that old rugged tree

And I saw the King of Heaven bleeding there for me

Chorus

At the cross, I found my freedom

At the cross, my chains fell down

Every tear met by Your mercy

Every shame traded for a crown

Jesus, You took my place

At the cross I met Your grace

Verse 2

The nails could not have held You, it was love that kept You there

You carried all my sorrow, You answered every prayer

The sky went dark at midday, the earth began to shake

And heaven opened wide for a sinner's sake

Chorus

At the cross, I found my freedom

At the cross, my chains fell down

Every tear met by Your mercy

Every shame traded for a crown

Jesus, You took my place

At the cross I met Your grace

Bridge

It is finished, it is finished

The veil is torn in two

It is finished, it is finished

Now I live for You

Chorus

At the cross, I found my freedom

At the cross, my chains fell down

Every tear met by Your mercy

Every shame traded for a crown

Jesus, You took my place

At the cross I met Your grace
