Foot Of The Cross (lyrics)

Copyright (C) 2007 by Sarah-Laney Long! All rights reserved.

His feet were bare
On the road to Calvary
As He slowly made His way
I watched on bended knees.

And He kept walking
So I kept watching
Surrounded by hate and thorns
My Lord, my God was torn

Chorus:
I fall at the foot of the cross
Next to those who scorn You
Who ask, "Why can't He save Himself?"
Lord they don't know what they do
Their punishment, suits their crime,
But Your death is something true
They ask, "Why can't He save Himself?"
It's 'cause He's saving you.

I am lost in the shadows of my sin
Such an enteric paradox
That when I lose
I win
So I'll keep living
And He'll keep giving
Surrounded with His love and trust
I've found that I must

(Chorus)

Bridge:
The pain in His eyes
Is too much to bare
As I watch Him bare my sin
The tears they stain both our cheeks
As He died so I might live

(Chorus)

So I walk down that dusty road
And in the distance hear
"I am with you
Forever in Paradise"

    I am lost in the shadows of my sin
    Such an enteric paradox
    That when I lose
    I win
