This song can touch everyone's heart. In my particular opinion, it's the best I've ever heard. Thank you for creating something like this when the entire world needs it.

Just this past Good Friday I listened to this song as it played on Salt and Light Television. It is truly a powerful song that can touch the hearts of millions.

I was too old for the World Youth Day -- in my 70s. But this song touches me so very deeply. It is a beauty for everyone.

"Song of the Cross" fills the soul
with the richness of God's overwhelming love for us and lifts up anyone who is blessed to hear it. The melody stays with the listener; and the beautiful, inspired words more than touch the heart.

I fell in love with this song at WYD2002 in Toronto. I introduced it to our contemporary choir at St. Thomas in Layton NJ and they too love it. We used it during Holy Week and had more positive comments on it, than on any other song!

Lyrics

Refrain
Love lifted on the cross for me:
my Lord, my God, my salvation.
Love lifted high to set me free:
my Lord, my God, my salvation.
1. Behold the wood of the cross,
behold the lamb that was slain.
Behold your king comes victorious,
behold he has risen again.
2. O be exalted, O God,
above the heavens and the earth.
For by your cross and resurrection
you have redeemed the world.
3. Give glory to the Father,
give glory to the Son,
give glory to the Holy Spirit;
give glory to the Holy One.
