This is how God shows his love

There's a place of healing
for the troubled soul
Where guilty burdens are released
and sinners are made whole.
A sight that ever comforts,
casting out our fears
The earth may fall, the cross stands tall
towering through the years.

This is how God shows his love-
See, his arms out wide?
See, forgiveness, mercy, love
Are flowing from his side?
This is how God shows his love-
it's written in his blood
God on high took flesh and died
He gave up all for us.

The guiltless for the guilty
him in place of me
His perfect record swapped with mine
that I might righteous be.
Away, all fear of judgement!
Away, all anxious tears!
The cross, our light, is shining bright
and will through all the years.
