Forever in my heart

And written on my soul

The promise of Your cross

I have no other claim

I have no other plea

The promise of Your cross

The hope for every heart



Where mercy ever flows

And shame's no longer known

I'll praise You for the cross

The promise of Your cross to me

It never fails to bring

The cleansing that I need

I'll praise You for the cross

The promise of Your cross to me



Embedded in my heart

And rooted in my soul

The promise of Your cross

It seals me as Your own

And tells me I am Yours

The promise of your cross

The hope for every heart



Tell it in all the earth

Sing it throughout the world

The promise of the cross

There is a higher way

There is a higher hope

The promise of Your cross

The hope for every heart
