The cross
So simple
His death
So true
It demonstrates the depth
Of His love for me and you
His death
So true
It demonstrates the depth
Of His love for me and you
Without Him we’d be nothing
We’d be separate from God
But with Him we have everything
And that brings me to my knees
We’d be separate from God
But with Him we have everything
And that brings me to my knees
It’s Jesus, simply Jesus
He’s more than I could ever dream
Cuz it’s Jesus, simply Jesus
He is all I need
He’s more than I could ever dream
Cuz it’s Jesus, simply Jesus
He is all I need
The question

Humble enough to die
But Mighty enough to conquer death
And that makes me bow in awe
Humble enough to die
