He left a throne in Heaven
To come to Bethlehem
And I will not forget the way
He loved me even then
And everywhere He traveled
He spoke with words of love
That said He'd go to any distance
To show what I was worthy of
And when at last the dusty road
Had turned to Calvary
He picked up a rugged burden
So that one day I would see
He loved me with a cross
He loved me with a cross
In answer to the call of love
He loved me with a cross
He knew from the beginning
The price He'd have to pay
For my heart had gone so far beyond
What other loves forgave
I wasn't on that hillside
To see Him on the tree
But as my guilt was placed upon Him
I know that somehow He saw me
He loved me with a cross
He loved me with a cross
In answer to the call of love
He loved me with a cross
Though I could not imagine what
Loving me would cost
My Jesus went to Calvary
And loved me with a cross
And I would be a sinner still
Enslaved by all my sin
If it hadn't been for Jesus
And they way He loved me then
He loved me with a cross
He loved me with a cross
In answer to the call of love
He loved me with a cross
Though I could not imagine what
Loving me would cost
My Jesus went to Calvary
And loved me with a cross
