Lyrics:

The Cross

To some it's just an emblem a formality
It's a symbol that's been used so frequently
Many blaspheme and despise
Though it's ancient, it abides
A shrine to death that stands for life to me


There was a cross made for the son of God at calvary
Two peaces of rough timber on a hill
Through his hand and through his feet
He took the nails for you and me
Angels watched as he died for the lost
Though he could have walked away
he chose the cross

You see why this old emblem is so dear to me
It stood suffering, yet it brought us peace
It bridged the gap for men
offered cleansing for our sins
an icon that reminds us that we're free

God forbid that I should ever let this memory fade but forever keep the cross in view for that's where I saved
I was saved



Though he could have walked away, he chose the cross
he chose the cross…….
