Knowing what Your death achieved
I bow down at an empty cross
Remembering when I first believed
For I bow down not to a tree of death
But the tree with hands that heal
For I bow down to the Word and Breath
The Power of God- the Christ revealed
I bow down at an empty cross
Remembering for me You came
I bow down at an empty cross
Knowing You took up Your life again
For I bow down not to a tree of shame
But the tree known as the Tree of Life
For I bow down where God broke my chains
Through the work of Jesus Christ
I bow down at an empty cross
Where it's power and proof redeems
I bow down at an empty cross
Seeing the blood of many stain its beams
For I bow down not to a tree of fools
But the tree known as the Tree of Truth
For I bow down where God broke Satan's rule
This act of God - our living proof
I bow down at an empty cross
Seeing the Son behind it arise
I bow down at an empty cross
That points to Him on triumphant skies
For I bow down not to a tree of choice
But the tree called the Tree of the Way
For I bow down to my Saviours voice
The cross - His final say!
I bow down to an empty cross
That the world declares a myth
I bow down to an empty cross
That declares that I am His
For I bow down not to gods of vice
Made of tree, steel, lies and stone
For I bow down to the proof of Christ
Who reigns upon His throne
I bow down at an empty cross
Pointing to Resurrection
I bow down at an empty cross
Seeing the Son in the distance ascend
For I bow down not to a tree of doom
But the tree that crucified my sin
For I bow down knowing He'll come soon
Where His reign shall have no end
I bow down at an empty cross
Not to self, nor works, nor myths
I bow down at an empty cross
Where the cross declares I'm His
For I bow down not to gods of vice
made of lies, tree, steel or stone
For I bow down to Lord Jesus Christ
Where reigns forever on His throne
