Hide Me Behind the Cross
by Gold City

Album: Gold City Collection

Lord, as I seek to serve You
May You find in me what's pleasing to Your heart
I leave my will at Calvary
Taking on a nature humbled by Your scars
For I know it's only through Your love
That who I am is hidden by Your grace
Let my desires be overshadowed
As I recall the purpose of that place

Hide me behind the cross
Where my gains become as loss
And only Your glory is in view
Your power will be revealed
The more that I am concealed
Hide me behind the cross
So the world sees only You

If I rely on my strength
To be a source of hope to those in need
The only profit I would gain
Would be the empty honor of my deeds
But with all of self behind Your cross
The splendor of Your love stands free to shine
Illuminating with Your power
Reaching souls so You alone are glorified

So, hide me behind the cross
Where my gains become as loss
And only Your glory is in view
Your power will be revealed
The more that I am concealed
Hide me behind the cross
So the world sees only You

Hide me behind the cross
So the world sees only You
Only You
