    PLAYLIST TIME:

    To The Cross

    by: Paul Baloche

    Where can I go
    But to the cross to the cross
    For there my shame
    You have washed away
    Where can I go
    But to the cross to the cross
    For there You gave
    Up Your life for me
    You gave Your life for me
    You stretched Your arms out wide
    I lift my hands up high to my Savior
    You stretched Your arms out wide
    I lift my hands up high to my Savior
    So Lord I run
    To the cross to the cross
    Surrender all to my Savior King
    Be my everything
    Chains are broken
    Shame has fallen
