The Way is the Cross Lyrics

If you want to go to Heaven, the way is the cross

From the throne-room of Heaven, God made a plan

To restore friendship and to redeem man

But the price for our sin-debt had to be paid

So He sent us a Savior, and his life He gave

This plan of redemption, came with great cost

When the dear Lamb of God, died on the cross

What love, oh what mercy, He showed to me

When He took my place up on Calvary's tree

Chorus:

If you want to go to Heaven, the way is the cross

If you want sins forgiven, Jesus paid the cost

Oh come now to Calvary, confess you are lost

If you want to go to Heaven, the way is the cross

There's more to this story, and still more to tell

Jesus died for my sin there, He descended to Hell

But He arose victorious, over the grave

And He lives up in Heaven, to this very day

Chorus
