[Verse 1]
C             Em
What wisdom once devised the plan
C               D
where all our sin and pride
C               Em
Was placed upon the perfect
C         D         G
Who suffered, bled, and died?
Am          G
The wisdom of a Sovereign God
C                 D
whose greatness will be shown
C              Em
When those who crucified
C      D          G
Your Son rejoice around Your throne.

[Chorus]
Bm      C            G
And, oh, the glory of the cross
Bm        Em                C
that You would send Your Son for us
D      G                Em
I gladly count my life as loss
C
that I might come to know
Am            C            G
The glory of, the glory of the cross.

[Verse 2]
C                 Em
What righteousness was there
C               D
revealed that sets the guilty free
C           Em
That justifies ungodly men
C         D      G
and calls the filthy clean?
Am                 G
A righteousness that proved to all
C                D
Your justice has been met
C             Em
And holy wrath is satisfied
C    D      G
through one atoning death.

[Verse 3]
C             Em
What mercy now has been proclaimed
C                 D
for those who would believe
C            Em           C
A love incomprehensible our minds
D      G
could not conceive?
Am            G
A mercy that forgives my sin then
C                  D
makes me like Your Son
C                 Em
And now I'm loved forevermore
C        D           G
because of what You've done.
