You carried my wooden tree Took my place and died for me For all of my iniquities That Cross is why I live Oh praise the name of Jesus Christ Oh praise your name my God my Savior My sins are red as Scarlet Now I am white as snow Your cross has made me new Oh, what selfless love is this? You carried all my sins and shame You gave me now a new beginning That cross is why I live Oh praise the name of Jesus Christ Oh praise your name my God my Savior My sins are red as Scarlet Now I am white as snow Your cross has made me new Your cross has bought my freedom Your blood has washed me clean My debt is paid in full Now death, where is your sting? You poured out your forgiveness You called me justified (for all the crimes I've made) This love I don't deserve This cross is why I live! Oh praise the name of Jesus Christ Oh praise your name my God my Savior My sins are red as Scarlet Now I am white as snow Your cross has made me new Your cross has made me new
