If I only had one song that I could sing you Or a story I could tell before I leave If I only had one message I could bring you There's no question it would be About the cross About the blood About the place I found God's mercy and love And although it's bittersweet Remembering the cost There's something beautiful About the cross I could sing about the state of grace I live in or the peace and joy I have when times are tough I could see in all the blessings I've been given But In the end my life is just About the cross About the blood About the place I found God's mercy and love And although it's bittersweet Remembering the cost There's something beautiful About the cross Two thousand years ago If I had watched Him die I think I would have lost all hope Demanded to know why But now I know the cross means everything And it's the greatest honor to sing About the cross About the blood About the place I found God's mercy and love And although it's bittersweet Remembering the cost There's something beautiful About the cross There's something beautiful Something incredible There's something wonderful About the cross
