There was One who was willing to die in my stead, That a soul so unworthy might live, And the path to the cross He was willing to tread, All the sins of my life to forgive. |
|
They were borne on the cross, They were borne on the cross, O how much He was willing to bear! With what anguish and loss, Jesus went to the cross! But He carried my sins with Him there. |

He is tender and loving and patient with me, While He cleanses my heart of its dross; But "there's no condemnation," I know I am free, For my sins were all borne on the cross. |
|
They were borne on the cross, They were borne on the cross, O how much He was willing to bear! With what anguish and loss, Jesus went to the cross! But He carried my sins with Him there. |

I will cling to my Savior and never depart — I will joyfully journey each day, With a song on my lips and a song in my heart, That my sins have been taken away. |
|
They were borne on the cross, They were borne on the cross, O how much He was willing to bear! With what anguish and loss, Jesus went to the cross! But He carried my sins with Him there. |
