The Wonder of the Cross

This is probably my favorite song. If you can listen to it and not raise your hands - you're crazy. Here's a link to listen to it - I like the song without the video (personally).

Wonder of the Cross (By Bethany Dillon and Matt Hammitt)

Oh, precious sight, my Savior stands  
Dying for me with outstretched hands 
Oh, precious sight, I love to gaze  
Remembering salvation's day  
Remembering salvation's day
Though my eyes linger on this scene 

May passing time and years not steal  
The power with which it impacts me  
The freshness of it's mystery  
The freshness of it's mystery
 
May I never lose the wonder  

The wonder of the cross  
May I see it like the first time  
Standing as a sinner lost
Undone by mercy and left speechless  

Watching wide eyed at the cost 
May I never lose the wonder  
The wonder of the cross
 
Behold the God man crucified  

The perfect sinless sacrifice 
As blood ran down those nails and wood 
History was split in two  
Yes, history was split in two
Behold the empty wooden tree  

His body gone, alive and free  
We sing with everlasting joy  
For sin and death have been destroyed 
Yeah, sin and death have been destroyed
 
May I never lose the wonder  

The wonder of the cross  
May I see it like the first time 
Standing as a sinner lost
Undone by mercy and left speechless  

Watching wide eyed at the cost  
May I never lose the wonder  
The wonder of the cross  
May I never lose the wonder 
The wonder of the cross
