Verse 1 You were carrying the cross Bearing all my guilt and shame Knowing what it all would cost Still You chose to take my place Pre-Chorus You chose the cross You chose the nails You chose to bear my shame You chose the cross You chose it all So I could be saved Chorus Oh, the ransom for my peace You gave Your life for me To set this captive free Oh, the ransom for my peace Upon that rugged tree You gave it all for me Verse 2 Hands stretched wide upon the cross Mercy in Your final breath Love was paying every cost Conquering my sin and death Pre-Chorus You chose the cross You chose the nails You chose to bear my shame You chose the cross You chose it all So I could be saved Chorus Oh, the ransom for my peace You gave Your life for me To set this captive free Oh, the ransom for my peace Upon that rugged tree You gave it all for me Build You left the grave You conquered death You rose in victory! You left the grave You won it all Now death has lost its sting! Bridge Jesus, You are risen Jesus, You are risen Jesus, You are risen Forever You will reign Forever praise the Risen King Oh, the ransom for my peace
