Artists: Joseph Habedank, Wayne Haun, and Joel Lindsey
Album: Resurrection
Year: 2017

Verse 1:
I left my home, I came so far
From where I was, to where you are
The bitter tears, the lonely ache
The many ways a heart could break
And you were at the center of it all
To free you from the prison of the fall

Chorus:
There was no hill too steep for Me to climb
No road too long and hard to make you Mine
I gave all I had to give and it was worth the cost
To say I love you from an old rugged cross

Verse 2:
I took your guilt, I bore your shame
And I would do it all again
My open arms reached out in grace
To pull you in to Love’s embrace
It’s been spoken in a thousand different ways
Yet the cross said more than words could ever say

Bridge:
Can you hear the echoes from that hill
I loved you then and child, I love you still
