Hallelujah for the Cross Songtext
von Shenandoah

Up to the hill of Calvary
My Savior went courageously
And there He bled and died for me
Hallelujah for the Cross!
And on that day the world was changed
A final perfect Lamb was slain
Let Earth and Heaven now proclaim
Hallelujah for the Cross!

Hallelujah for the war He fought
Love has won; death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls He bought
Hallelujah for the Cross!


What good I′ve done could never save
My debt too great for deeds to pay
But God, my Savior, made a way
Hallelujah for the Cross!
A slave to sin my life was bound
But all my chains fell to the ground
When Jesus' blood came flowing down
Hallelujah for the Cross!

Hallelujah for the war He fought
Love has won; death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls He bought
Hallelujah for the Cross!

And when I′ve breathed my final breath
I'll have no need to fear that rest
This hope will guide me into death
Hallelujah for the Cross!

Hallelujah for the war He fought
Love has won; death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls He bought
Hallelujah for the Cross!

Hallelujah for the war He fought
Love has won; death has lost!
Hallelujah for the souls He bought
Hallelujah for the Cross!
Hallelujah for the Cross!
Hallelujah for the Cross!
