We used to wander alone and unloved
Searching for purpose
Where there was none
Now You've crowned us
Heirs and sons

We used to carry
The weight of the law
Hoping our good would
Outnumber the wrong
But grace has thrown
That burden off

The depths of His scars

This is the hope of the cross

Counting the days
On the earth we had left
But now we walk in fearlessness

We no longer wander
We're claimed by His blood
We know we are loved now
The cross says how much
The cross says how much
The cross says how much
