How I love to tell the story
of God's redemption plan
How Jesus died to take our sins away
But my finest words cannot express
what one old rugged tree said best
for nailed to it was all God had to say
The cross said it all
the cross said it all
without a word, God's heart was heard
for the cross said it all
to prove His love like nothing else could
God used three nails and two pieces of wood
and the cross said it all
He could write it in the heavens
He could spell it in the stars
He could paint across the sky for all to see
But with His own blood, Jesus Christ
wrote "I love you" with His life
and forgiveness still resounds from Calvary
The cross said it all
the cross said it all
without a word, God's heart was heard
for the cross said it all
to prove His love like nothing else could
God used three nails and two pieces of wood
and the cross said it all
It's more than a symbol a suffering
or a picture of pain and agony
for there at the cross
every soul that was lost
found a bridge from earth to eternity
The cross said it all
the cross said it all
without a word, God's heart was heard
for the cross said it all
to prove His love like nothing else could
God used three nails and two pieces of wood
and the cross...
and the cross...
the cross ....said ....it all
it all....
