Intro

Verse 1

I would be hopeless without 
Your goodness
I would be desperate without 
Your love
Slave to the darkness if it 
wasn't for the cross

Verse 2

You have won me with Your 
kindness
Chased me down when I was 
lost
Where would I be if it 
wasn't for the cross

Chorus

Hallelujah, thank You Jesus
I was a prisoner now I'm 
not 
With Your blood You bought 
my freedom
Hallelujah for the cross

Interlude

Verse 3

All my shame was met with mercy
Now Your mercy will be my song
And oh the glory, oh the power 
of the cross

Bridge

And by Your stripes I'm healed
And by Your death I live
The power of sin is overcome
It is finished it is done

Post-Chorus

I thank You for the cross
Jesus
Yeah I thank You for the cross

Hallelujah For The Cross - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

We can all relate to the lyrics of this song, “Hallelujah For The Cross” by Chris McClarney. We can all relate to the feeling of hopelessness and desperation without the love of God. We can all relate to the feeling of being a slave to darkness without the power of the cross. 

The Bible tells us in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse reminds us that even when we were lost and in darkness, God still loved us and sent His son to die for us on the cross. 

The lyrics of this song remind us of the power of the cross and the mercy of God. We are reminded that all our shame is met with mercy and that His mercy will be our song. We are reminded that by His stripes we are healed and by His death we live. 

The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” This verse reminds us that Jesus bore our sins on the cross and that by His wounds we are healed. 

We can all be thankful for the cross and the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection. We can all be thankful for the mercy and love of God. We can all be thankful for the freedom that we have in Christ. Let us all join together and sing “Hallelujah For The Cross” and give thanks to God for His amazing love and grace.
