Oh the Cross - The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Karen Melendez Rampersad

My longing for love wouldn’t go away

I was desperate, searching, broken by pain

Looking for answers but nothing seemed right

My longing for love wouldn’t go away

I was desperate, searching, broken by pain

Looking for answers but nothing seemed right

Where was my answer, what was my life?

Blinded by sin I was lost, deceived

Until I turned my eyes to Calvary

Oh the cross where Jesus died

He shed His blood, gave His life for you and I

My sins erased, no longer lost

My debt was paid, I am saved

Oh the cross

Day after day as I live my life

I find heartache, trouble, battles to fight

When fear tries to grip me and I feel alone

My Jesus is with me

I’m not on my own

Now I can say in my heart I believe

My life has been changed because of Calvary

Oh the cross where Jesus died

He shed His blood, gave His life for you and I

My sins erased, no longer lost

My debt was paid, I am saved

Oh the cross
