Long, long ago in a far-away place Rough, rugged timbers were raised to the sky There hung a Man suspended in space And Tho' He was blameless, they left Him to die
Just to think of the cross moves me now The nails in His hands, His bleeding brow To think of the cross moves me now It should have been me It should have been me Instead I am free, I am free. Iam free
He put an end to my guilt and despair Turned bitter hating to sweet peace and love Even the men that put Him up there Were Offered forgiveness and life from above
Just to think of the cross moves me now The nails in His hands, His bleeding brow To think of the cross moves me now It should have been me It should have been me Instead I am free, I am free I am free, I am free I am free!
