Verse 1

Long my soul has waited for You
Bound by sin and nature's night
But in the secret
I will find You
A mighty ray of holy light

Verse 2

Oh these chains
Were sweetly broken
Bound by shame You set me free
Perfect love my fear was stolen
When Thou my Jesus
Died for me

Chorus

By the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought
At the highest price
And every fear was lost
Every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross
He took my place

Verse 3

All my heart I lay before Thee
To sound the depths of love divine
So free so infinite Your glory
That I am Yours and You are mine

Chorus

By the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought
At the highest price
And every fear was lost
Every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross
He took my place

Bridge

Then sings my soul
Then cries my heart
'Til Kingdom come
'Til Heavens part
'Til He returns
Or calls me home
I'll praise the name
Of Christ alone

Tag

I'll praise the name
Of Christ alone

Verse 4

Long my soul has waited for You
Bound by sin and nature's night
But in the secret
I will find You
A mighty flood of holy light

Chorus

By the cross of Jesus Christ
Every sin was bought
At the highest price
And every fear was lost
Every sin erased
When Jesus took the cross
He took my place
