The Wonder of The Cross by Vicky Beeching

This is another worship song we will be introducing to our congregation in a few weeks. Beautiful words!


The Wonder of The Cross

You can listen to this song here

O precious sight, my Savior stands,
Dying for me with outstretched hands.
O precious sight, I love to gaze,
Remembering salvation’s day,
Remembering salvation’s day.
Though my eyes linger on this scene,
May passing time and years not steal
The power with which it impacts me,
The freshness of its mystery,
The freshness of its mystery.

May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.
May I see it like the first time
Standing as a sinner lost,
Undone by mercy and left speechless,
Watching wide eyed at the cost.
May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.

Behold the God-man crucified,
The perfect sinless sacrifice.
As blood ran down those nails and wood,
History was split in two, yes,
History was split in two.
Behold the empty wooden tree,
His body gone, alive and free.
We sing with everlasting joy,
For sin and death have been destroyed, yes,
Sin and death have been destroyed.

May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.
May I see it like the first time
Standing as a sinner lost,
Undone by mercy and left speechless,
Watching wide eyed at the cost.
May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.

May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.
May I see it like the first time
Standing as a sinner lost,
Undone by mercy and left speechless,
Watching wide eyed at the cost.
May I never lose the wonder,
The wonder of the cross.

I enjoyed Vicki Beeching's site! The song you posted would be perfect in a church worship setting, although I like a few of her others better. She has such a sweet voice! Blessings.

e-mom,

I have to be honest, I have never heard of her before our Worship leader sent us this song.

I'll have to listen to her more.

That is a beautiful song. I had not heard of her before.

Kathy,

She has a wonderful voice and I love the words to her songs. I am really surprised I haven't heard about her. I think our WL said, that our Asst. Pastor wanted us to do this song.
