Verse 1

When I couldn't find redemption
In a bottle
When I couldn't find salvation
In a song
When everything I had
Had hit rock bottom
And everyone I ever knew was gone

Verse 2

There was mercy waiting for me
In the shadows
And binding up this bruised
And broken soul
He said leave behind that man
Of constant sorrow
Then He wrote my name
In the greatest story told

Chorus

And on that old rugged cross
Where my Savior bore my scars
Perfect love
Destroyed my fears
An eternity of failures
Have been swallowed up forever
'Cause by His wounds
All of mine are healed

Verse 3

My debts been paid in full
There's no more ransom
There's forgiveness flowing freely
From His hands
By His torn up flesh
And bone He is redeeming
And a sinner is no longer
Who I am

Chorus

And on that old rugged cross
Where my Savior bore my scars
Perfect love
Destroyed my fears
An eternity of failures
Have been swallowed up forever
'Cause by His wounds
All of mine are healed

Bridge

There's no looking back now
The grave's been emptied out
The Son of God defeated death
And made a way
You can run to Him now
Go on and run to Him now
Child of God born again
To bear His name

Chorus

And on that old rugged cross
Where my Savior bore my scars
Perfect love
Destroyed my fears
An eternity of failures
Have been swallowed up forever
'Cause by His wounds
All of mine are healed
