Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] You chose the cross with ev\xe2\x80\x99ry breath; the perfect life, the perfect death. You chose the cross. A crown of thorns You wore for us, and crowned us with eternal life; You chose the cross. And though Your soul was overwhelmed with pain, obedient to death, You overcame. [Chorus] I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in wonder, I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in love, I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in praise forevermore. Because of Jesus\xe2\x80\x99 unfailing love, I am forgiven, I am restored. [Verse 2] You loosed the cords of sinfulness, and broke the chains of my disgrace; You chose the cross. Up from the grave victorious, You rose again so glorious; You chose the cross. The sorrow that surrounded You was mine. Yet, \xe2\x80\x9cNot My will, but Yours be done,\xe2\x80\x9d You cried. [Chorus] I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in wonder, I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in love, I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in praise forevermore. Because of Jesus\xe2\x80\x99 unfailing love, I am forgiven, I am restored. [Verse 1] You chose the cross with ev\xe2\x80\x99ry breath; the perfect life, the perfect death. You chose the cross. A crown of thorns You wore for us, and crowned us with eternal life; You chose the cross. And though Your soul was overwhelmed with pain, obedient to death, You overcame. [Chorus] I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in wonder, I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in love, I\xe2\x80\x99m lost in praise forevermore. Because of Jesus\xe2\x80\x99 unfailing love, I am forgiven, I am restored. [Verse 2] You loosed the cords of sinfulness, and broke the chains of my disgrace; You chose the cross. Up from the grave victorious, You rose again so glorious; You chose the cross.
