ฟังเพลงThe Cross

Verse I

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 pieces of rough timber on a hill

Through His hands 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

Verse II

You see why this old emblem is so dear to me

It stood for suffering yet it brought us peace

It bridged the gap for me

Offered cleansing for our sins

An icon that reminds us that we're free

God forbid that I should ever let my memory fade

But forever keep the cross in view for that's where I was saved
