To gather in that shadow when the sun went down

E             Bm7        E                       F#m
To weep with those who thought that you were leaving,

You were leaving, Jesus

With love and tears to leave You in a borrowed grave

To go with Mary to the place they laid You,

Where they laid You, Jesus

And in the morning find the stone was rolled away 


CHORUS

     D           A/C#         E/G#     D/F#     E
The cross, O the wonderful cross

D           A/C#         E/G#     D/F#     E
What Glory, what victory, I've found

D           A/C#         E/G#     D/F#     E
I'll come to the wonderful cross

        D      F#m Bm7 E A D   Bm7  A  D  Bm7  A 
And my whole life I lay down 

A          F#m          Bm7           E     A   D/A    A   D/A   
Were heaven's praises silent in those hours of darkness?

A          F#m          Bm7           E     A   D/A    A   D/A   
Your Holy Spirit brooding round that empty throne?

E             Bm7        E       F#m
Until the declaration "He is Risen"

           D
 You are risen, Jesus,

A          F#m      Bm7                E     A  Asus  A   
"He is not dead, behold He lives for evermore".
