lyrics

Beneath The Cross of Jesus

Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would 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 noontide heat
and the burden of the day

Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eye a times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me
And from my stricken heart with tears
Two wonders I confess
The wonders of redeeming love
And my unworthiness

I take O cross thy shadow
For my abiding place
I ask no other sunshine
Than the sunshine of his face
Content to let the world go by
To know no gain or loss
My sinful self my only shame
My glory all the cross
