At The Cross
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Lord You've searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail you
I know You love me

Your holy presence
Surrounded me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knees
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this

You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
And I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this

You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this, no

You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done
You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done

And when the earth fails
Falls from my eyes
And You stand before me
I know You love me
Oh, I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this, no

You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this, no

You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done
You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done

You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done




You tore the veil, You made a way
When You said that it is done

Overall Meaning

The song "At the Cross" by Hillsong is a worship song that celebrates the power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. The lyrics begin with acknowledging God's omniscience and love, even in the face of human failure. The singer then reflects on the significance of Jesus' death, which tore the veil between humanity and God and made a way for humans to be reconciled to Him.


The chorus is a powerful declaration of the singer's submission to Jesus and recognition of His love: "At the cross I bow my knees, where Your blood was shed for me. There's no greater love than this." The song goes on to proclaim Jesus' victory over death and the grave, His glory, and the unbreakable nature of His love for His followers.


The lines "You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done" refer to the moment in the Bible when Jesus, upon His death, broke the veil in the temple that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple. This signified that Jesus had made a way for humans to approach God directly, without the need for sacrifice or a priestly intermediary.


Overall, "At the Cross" is a powerful expression of gratitude, reverence, and faith in Jesus, and it has become a popular worship song in many churches and Christian communities.

Amen. I became a Christian almost 2 years ago. But the moment i listen to it since we are celebrating Easter Sunday. I just realized something deeper about what Jesus has done for me and that brought me in tears, and i think that's the sweetest moment of my life.
