《The Cross》歌词

[00:00:38] Verse I

[00:00:38] To some it's just an emblem a formality

[00:00:45] It's a symbol that's been used so frequently

[00:00:53] Many blaspheme and despise

[00:00:56] Though it's ancient it abides

[00:01:00] A shrine to death that stands for life to me

[00:01:07] There was a cross made for the Son of God at Calvary

[00:01:15] Two pieces of rough timber on a hill

[00:01:23] Through His hands and through His feet

[00:01:26] He took the nails for you and me

[00:01:31] Angels watched as He died for the lost

[00:01:42] Though He could have walked away He chose the cross

[00:02:00] Verse II

[00:02:05] You see why this old emblem is so dear to me

[00:02:20] It stood for suffering yet it brought us peace

[00:02:35] It bridged the gap for me

[00:02:45] Offered cleansing for our sins

[00:03:03] An icon that reminds us that we're free

[00:03:27] God forbid that I should ever let my memory fade

[00:03:44] But forever keep the cross in view for that's where I was saved
