CLOSER TO THE CROSS (Song Lyrics)

I had trouble separating the verses on this post, so please read it, chorus and verse in sections of four lines each.

Chorus

And He drew closer to the Cross

Each footstep bringing many more to glory

Heaven had paid the cost in eternity past

This is His beautiful story

What is love, Who is love

This wondrous thing called love

No-one can ever comprehend

The depths of our dear Father’s love

Love was, and is, will come

Love walked the earth, so pure

And he healed wherever He went

Infusing the sick with His cure

Breaking down our strongholds

Releasing all our fears

Piercing every form of darkness

Capturing our repentant tears

Chorus

And He drew closer to the Cross

Each footstep bringing many more to glory

Heaven had paid the cost in eternity past

This is His beautiful story

Eyes beholding beauty

Ears embrace melody

I saw Him as He staggered past

All man, all God, all dignity

His voice, all powerful

Yet silent as the sun

Burning with words of Love Divine

Victory over death is won

And our hearts, they entwined

For I was one He called

I had heard of His salvation

I am redeemed, healed and restored

Chorus

And He drew closer to the Cross

Each footstep bringing many more to glory

Heaven had paid the cost in eternity past

This is His beautiful story
