How all of heaven must have shined that day
When on a lonely planet far away
They watched their suffering King His head bowed down
Tears seen thorns where there had been a crown
There were no flowers blooming all around
Where His precious blood came streaming down
See the King of Glory dying for the lost
Oh, the awesome splendor of His cross
And that old cross will always testify to me
For there my Savior died alone to make me free
And now what things were gained to me, I count for loss
To own my Savior and the splendor of His cross
They cursed Jesus and dared Him to come down
As they gambled for His robe there on the ground
But God answered man's rebellion with His love
For all must come to the cross and through the blood
Ten thousand angels stood at His command
Yet, He cried, "Father forgive them for their sins"
Behold your Savior dying for the love
Oh, the awesome splendor of the cross
And that old cross will always testify to me
For there my Savior died alone to make me free
And now what things were gained to me, I count for loss
To own my Savior and the splendor of His cross
What things were gained to me, I count for loss
To own my Savior and the splendor of His cross
