EMPTY CROSS

Verse 1

You weren't saved by a cross standing bare on a hill
Like the cross we so often display
You were saved by a man hanging there on that cross
To be raised from an empty grave

Verse 2

Not the wood of the cross saved your soul on that day
But His life that was given away
See the stain of His blood on the wood of the cross
See the grave where His body was laid

Verse 3

See His suffering agony there on that cross
See His face, see His blood, see His pain
You were saved by the man hanging there on that cross
o be raised from His empty grave

Verse 4

Not the stone of the tomb will raise you up one great day
But the life that walked out of that grave
You weren't saved by an empty cross on that day
Nor raised by His empty grave
You were saved by the man Who gave His life on that cross
We'll be raised because He rose from that grave

Bridge

He is risen, He is living, hallelujah amen
He is Savior, our Redeemer, hallelujah amen
He is risen, He is living, hallelujah amen
He is Savior, our Redeemer, hallelujah amen

Verse 5

You weren't saved by a cross standing bare on a hill
Like the cross we so often display
You weren't saved by an empty cross on that day
We won't be raised by an empty grave
You were saved by the man Who gave His life on that cross
We'll be raised because He rose from that grave
