Forever in my heart
And written on my soul
The promise of Your cross
I have no other claim
I have no other plea
The promise of Your cross
The hope for every heart

Where mercy ever flows
And shame's no longer known
I'll praise You for the cross
The promise of Your cross to me
It never fails to bring
The cleansing that I need
I'll praise You for the cross
The promise of Your cross to me

Embedded in my heart
And rooted in my soul
The promise of Your cross
It seals me as Your own
And tells me I am Yours
The promise of your cross
The hope for every heart

Tell it in all the earth
Sing it throughout the world
The promise of the cross
There is a higher way
There is a higher hope
The promise of Your cross
The hope for every heart
