The Cross - CANON, Derek Minor, Chad Jones

On the cross

We die and we ride

We die and we fight

The Cross is my battery

Charge me up for casualty

But i barely see it passionately

Feel I live too passively

I’m asking now for boldness, I ain’t prayed for that ever

It’s crucial to loving you, ain’t no cowards in Heaven

Christ came as fully God concealed himself in human skin

Courageous, take the punishment that was served for human sin

Then tagged me in like wrestling match we brothers now the Hardy Boyz

The cross of course, the hardest chore, unrivaled against the Father’s Joy

On the cross where His blood spilled

He’s the Lamb that was killed

He showed His love’s real when they lift Him up on that skull hill

And though I was ill I couldn’t see pride had me sitting so high

But contact with the truth brought me low, dang what a buzz kill

Now I know how love feels, I used to be numb but He made that better

Living in a place so froze without the Son is so cold but He changed that

weather

Owed my soul but He made that settle, paid my debt it was paid forever

Then He rose and He slayed that devil, that’s the promise in the garden when he

made that sweater

On the cross

We die and we ride

We die and we fight

Now I ain’t never seen his glory burn so bright before me though I see it now I

tremble in my bones

I thought he was the type of GOD to strike me down and place in his judgment

line awaiting just to hear that I was wrong

Surely I was wrong

Instead he had his arms wide open saying Canon come its time to come home

Now listen this your daddy talkin' to you, oh yes boy I may whoop you but

that’s all because my love is so strong

Lead me to the cross, where your love poured out

Take me to the brook, where your brought Fraser

Where I drink your love, it’s never all gone

That mountain I’m a die on, this my Hillsong

I confess that I’m nothing, the pit of death I could plummet

My sins expensive, how you fit that in the budget

Cause you God, ruler of the universe

Sovereign king, died for me, redeemer of a wicked earth

On the cross

We die and we ride

We die and we fight
