That cross up on that hill
Meant to maim and to kill
Became a sign of hope-for you and I
A light to eternity
A sign to set us free
But before that could be-Jesus had to die
Yes Jesus would die-so that we could live
He gave His all-all that He could give
Gave hope so we-could see-eternity
To set our souls free-Jesus would die-for you and I
The tomb where He was laid
Often made men afraid
Is now a sign to life-eternity
Cause the stone was rolled away
As He rose that third day
As death was defeated-to set all men free
