Beneath The Cross

Beneath the cross

Beneath the cross of Jesus I will take my stand
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land
A home within the wilderness a rest upon the way
From the burning of the noonday heat and the burden of today

Beneath the cross, beneath the cross
I found my hiding place
Beneath the cross, beneath the cross of Jesus
I’m sheltered by His grace

Upon the cross of Jesus my eyes still can see
The very dying form of One who gave his life for me
And from my smitten heart with tears two things I must confess
The wonder of this Glorious Love and my own worthlessness

CHORUS

I take the shadow of the cross as my final place
I need no other sunshine that the light of His face
Content to let the world go by
To know no gain or loss
My only shame is all my sin, but my Glory is the cross.
