At The Foot Of The Cross lyrics

At The Foot Of The Cross     



Words and music by Ray Boltz and
Lawrence Chewning



They were watching from a distance

And
they could not

Take their eyes from You

You were bleeding

They were weeping

Faithful sisters, they had followed you

They
did not understand

They could not see

They were mourning their
loss

As the sky turned black

And the Earth turned red

At the
foot of the cross



He was standing near your mother

They were
so close

They could hear you sighing

All around them angry voices

Pierced the darkness

And you were dying

But they would not
leave

They lingered there

No matter the cost

They were
staying

And they were praying

At the foot of the cross



CHORUS:

Keep me near the cross

Near the cross

May I never
stray so far

That I cannot see

What flowed down for me

At the
foot of the cross



Now Im standing in your presence

And I
cannot take my eyes from you

You have risen Im forgiven

Precious
Saviour, oh I worship you

No Im not looking back

Ive heard your
voice

And Im staying here

Ive made my choice

For now its
real, now I kneel

At the foot of the cross



CHORUS (repeat
2X)
