Verso 1

Once on a lonely hill
Of grief and woe
There hung a Man
Who suffered here below
On a tree where for me
He willed His blood to flow
And I will glory in the cross

Verso 2

Such pain and scorn
No one has ever known
The rightful King
Denied His rightful throne
Hidden then even
In His weakness glory shone
And I will glory in the cross

Refrão

What joy to wear the burden of that tree
And find my suffering in it redeemed
When I lose ever clearer Christ I see
And I will glory in the cross

Verso 3

I see my hardship
With the cross in view
Grateful to suffer
Since my Lord did too
Every pain for His name
An honor to go through
And I will glory in the cross

Refrão

What joy to wear the burden of that tree
And find my suffering in it redeemed
When I lose ever clearer Christ I see
And I will glory in the cross

Verso 4

When I am weak
I know that He is strong
When overwhelmed
I know I still belong
Out of breath nothing left
Can’t sing another song
Still I will glory in the cross

Repete

Still I will glory in the cross

Refrão

What joy to wear the burden of that tree
And find my suffering in it redeemed
When I lose ever clearer Christ I see
And I will glory in the cross

Pós-refrão

When I lose
Ever clearer Christ I see
And I will glory
In the cross
