The cross is my confession Approach my soul, the mercy seat Where's Jesus answers prayer For none can perish there Your promise is my only plea You gather broken souls Oh, healer draw me close Bowed down beneath a weight of sin By war without and fears within Oh, the cross Oh, the cross The cross is my confession Your cross Jesus You are my shield And now In Christ I'll face my every foe And tell them they have died O wondrous love Eternal life As we all plead your name All sinners such as I By grace received my soul be still Your work in me both power and will Oh, the cross Oh, the cross The cross is my confession Oh..., your cross For I believe in God the father And in his son there is no other His very life living inside (repeat 4X) This I confess my righteousness His very life living inside Jesus, your cross Your cross
