Oh the Cross lyrics

If this life was a journey

And my story a path

I could draw you a map

On a page and a half

On this map you‘d see heights

And some valleys between

But for sure this one hilltop

Unlike others you‘ve seen

On that hill stands a cross

Quite outdated and old

Yet the story it bears was

A million times told

For the gain of the countless

One there laid down his all

Many heard and believed it

And followed the call

Oh the cross, oh the cross

It means gain and not loss

So i take it upon me

With my head held up high

Moving further, going stronger

As the seasons go by

Like so many I drew near

To encounter such love

That would change my short present

In "forever to last“

With the Son in my heart

And a smile on my face

I am singing this new song

As I‘m joining the race

As I now keep on running

Not without tears or pain

This love keeps me going

Through days of drought, nights of rain

No, the path‘s not grown straighter

Nor have evened the hills

I have not quite arrived yet,

But I certainly will!

Oh the cross, oh the cross

It means gain and not loss

So i take it upon me

With my head held up high

Moving further, going stronger

As the seasons go by

Oh the cross, oh the cross

It means gain and not loss

As i leaned into Jesus

I learned how to live

First He made me all righteous

And then free to forgive
