Lyrics:

My life was in darkness;
No hope to be found.
Struggling within,
I was dead to my sin.
But the Master’s name
Was Jesus of love,
And the Cross gave me light
Through His mercy above.
Oh, the light of the cross,
Jesus took all my loss.
The darkness no longer holds to me.

I will praise Him for that day
When His life He freely gave,
The light of the Cross.

My friend, if you’re giving
To all you are living
And helpless without,
Let that glory shout!
Since Jesus came and was light from the sky,
sing and shout, praise His name;
Lift Him on high!

Oh, the light of the Cross,
Jesus took all my loss.
The darkness no longer holds to me.
I will praise Him for that day
When His life He freely gave,
The light of the Cross.

By His might, no more in night!
Through His glorious light,
He gave me sight!

Oh, the light of the Cross,
Jesus took all my loss.
The darkness no longer holds to me.
I will praise Him for that day
When His life He freely gave,
The light of the Cross.
I will praise Him for that day
When His life He freely gave,
The light of the Cross,
The Cross!
