In “At The Cross,” CeCe Winans revisits a hymn that has anchored faith for centuries, wrapping it in her warm, soulful tone and modern instrumentation while preserving its sacred reverence. Her voice, steeped in grace and conviction, invites listeners to pause, reflect, and remember the sacrifice that changed everything.
The lyrics unfold like a personal encounter at Calvary:
Alas, and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Winans brings these timeless words to life, turning them into a living prayer. Her delivery embodies awe and gratitude, reminding believers that at the foot of the cross, love conquered sin.
The chorus swells into a moment of release and revelation:
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
Each note feels like a journey; from brokenness to redemption, from guilt to grace. The production blends orchestral strings, gentle piano chords, and soulful harmonies, allowing CeCe Winans voice to carry the emotion of each line.
Beyond a sacred hymn “At The Cross” is a spiritual invitation. CeCe Winans captures the essence of what the cross represents; forgiveness, mercy, and transformation. As she sings, the listener is drawn into reflection, reminded that every burden can still be lifted where mercy and love intersect.
The second verse continues this reflection:
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown
And love beyond degree
Through these age-old lyrics, Winans leads a new generation to rediscover the beauty of the gospel’s central message. Her rendition is not just a reimagined hymn, it is a moment of worship that bridges the past and the present.
