[Verse] May I never boast in my fleeting name No crown of gold no earthly fame Through the cross I’ve found my claim The world’s a shadow now just a flame [Chorus] The cross alone my heart will bear Through its grace I’m stripped to bared The world has died I’m freed at last Chains are broken the die is cast [Verse 2] The glory’s not mine it’s a borrowed light The blood of love made wrong turn right The scars He bore now shine so bright My soul takes root in His pure might [Bridge] Oh the world had strings I could not see It tied me close but He cut me free I’m crucified to its tempting spree Alive in Him for eternity [Chorus] The cross alone my heart will bear Through its grace I’m stripped to bared The world has died I’m freed at last Chains are broken the die is cast [Outro] May I but sing of His holy name In His mercy I’ve risen again Through the cross the sinner is slain And love Oh love forever reigns
