THE CROSS OF JESUS (No Other Cross)
Words & Music: Nigel Cameron
No other cross of stone or wood
Not by tradition or doing good
Nothing can make us right with God
But the cross of Jesus
More than a memory of the past and gone
It brings forgiveness for everyone
This is the cross my name was on
It’s the cross of Jesus
This is the cross, the cross of Jesus
The cross, the cross that frees us
Oh what a cost to release us!
Thank you for the cross of Jesus
No charm or trapping of religion
Not in the ritual repetition
Nothing can bring us back to God
But the cross of Jesus
More than a fashion accessory
Greater than all artistic imagery
This is the cross He bore for me
It’s the cross of Jesus
What a place of punishment for Him
Yet He turned to others and forgave
What a death He died for all my sin
But He arose triumphant from the grave
What a sign to celebrate a King
A way for us to represent His rule
What a sign, this cross of which we sing
An empty cross, to show my heart is full
No holy statue or saintly grave
No other symbol upon a page
Nothing can show the power of God
But the cross of Jesus
More than an emblem from history
It opens up eternal mystery
This is the cross of sweet victory
It’s the cross of Jesus
