Lyrics

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly in the (Db)cross,

where my (Ab)Sav ior died for me.

Noth ing else, no oth er love

goes so far and runs so deep.

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly in the cross.

See His head, His hands and feet.

Scars of grace, the scars that heal.

He broke the curse and set me free.

(Eb)On ly One (Dbsus2)took the (Ab)nails, (Eb)on ly One (Dbsus2)tore the (Ab)veil, (Eb)on ly One (Dbsus2)spot (Cm)less (Dbsus2)Lamb.

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly in the cross.

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly in the cross, the Fa ther’s love at Cal va ry.

My sin e rased; my debt, He paid.

This is my hope, the song I sing.

This is my (Ab)hope,

the song I sing.

(Eb)On ly One (Dbsus2)took the (Ab)nails, (Eb)on ly One (Dbsus2)tore the (Ab)veil, (Eb)on ly One (Dbsus2)spot (Cm)less (Dbsus2)Lamb.

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly (Eb7)in the cross.

(Eb)On ly One (Db)took the (Ab)nails, (Eb)on ly One (Db)tore the veil, (Eb)on ly One (Dbsus2)spot (Eb)less (Db)Lamb.

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly in the cross.

I will (Ab)boast (Eb)on ly in the cross.
