Salvation
Andrew Ehrenzeller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as You laid on that cross
I saw the face of the one I love.
You fixed hearts that went wrong,
You tipped the scale in the right direction,
And I saw the face of salvation.
There's no need to run a thousand miles
There's no need to climb the highest mountain
just to see You.
All the Earth will shake
as voices break the silence
With a thousand songs,
‘cause we belong in Your presence.
So count the days, count the cost.
There is joy when we learn to love the cross.
There we see the face of the one who loves.
Touch His side, hold His hands.
On Christ the Solid Rock we stand
and see the face of salvation.
There's no need to run a thousand miles
just to get to You.
There's no need to climb the highest mountain
just to see You.
All the Earth will shake
as voices break the silence
With a thousand songs,
‘cause we belong in Your presence.
Salvation has a name.
Salvation has a face.
Salvation has a name: it's Jesus.
Salvation has a name.
Salvation has a face.
Salvation has a name: it's Jesus.
Salvation has a name.
Salvation has a face.
Salvation has a name: it's Jesus.
There's no need to run a thousand miles
just to get to You.
There's no need to climb the highest mountain
just to see You.
All the Earth will shake as voices break the silence
With a thousand songs, ‘cause we belong in Your presence.
