The song describes a place where hurting and hopeless people find peace, where broken hearts are healed and the weak are strengthened, and where faith grows deep. This place is at the cross, where joy and sorrow meet, and where hope remains despite tears and suffering, as Jesus offers redemption, grace, and mercy.
