Give Thanks for the Cross


 

aka "The Lord and You"

 

Give thanks for the Cross that made you a Christian

Listen and love before you speak to your fellow man

You may be the means by which the Lord comes to him

But you can't pay the price, only Jesus can

You know inside yourself when the Word comes through

There's room for no-one else between the Lord and you

 

Pray first for yourself when sin surrounds you

The Lord's is the strength you need to be the voice that's heard

So speak out in love and never judgement

The Lord is the only judge, he'll get the final word

What you know inside yourself the Lord knows too

There's room for no-one else between the Lord and you

 

(lead break)

 

Lean on the Lord when love comes to you

When you're together and you feel like a king and queen

Keep Jesus first and he will bind you ever closer

The strongest bonds of all have the Lord between

What you know inside yourself the Lord knows too

There's room for no-one else between the Lord and you

You know inside yourself when the Word comes through

There's room for no-one else between the Lord and you

Hebrews 4:13a There is nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes.
