Glimpses of Jesus in a song

This is the title track for The Newsboys new album, Hallelujah for the Cross. It's my new favorite! At the bottom there are links to both the Newsboys' version and the composer's version. Praise God for Jesus!

Hallelujah for the Cross by Ross King

Up to the hill of Calvary
My Savior went courageously
And there he bled and died for me
Hallelujah for the cross

 And on that day the world was changed
 The final perfect lamb was slain
 Let earth and heaven now proclaim
 Hallelujah for the cross

(Chorus)
Hallelujah for the war he fought
Love has won, Death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls he bought
Hallelujah for the cross

What good I've done could never save
My debt too great, for deeds to pay
But God my savior made a way
Hallelujah for the cross

A slave to sin my life was bound
But all my chains fell to the ground
When Jesus' blood came flowing down
Hallelujah for the cross

 Hallelujah for the war he fought
Love has won, Death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls he bought
Hallelujah for the cross

 And when I breathe my final breath
I'll have no need to fear that rest
This hope will guide me into death
Hallelujah for the cross

Hallelujah for the war he fought
Love has won, Death has lost
Hallelujah for the souls he bought
Hallelujah for the cross
