Near To The Cross
by Paul Turner

Album: Patterns of Mercy

Verse 1
That the hand that shaped the heavens
Would be hammered to a tree
That the breath that filled creation would be stilled
That the pride of all the angels would seek the pangs of hell
So all who believe again be filled
This is the wisdom, this is the wisdom of God

Chorus
Near to the cross I'll stay
Forever, and ever
Near to the cross of Christ I'll stay

Verse 2
That a thief become a giver
Of wealth beyond his dreams
That a pauper hold the riches of a king
That a slave could be forgiven of debt beyond his years
Then be given everything
This is the power, this is the power of God

Bridge
So when the race is finally done
And at last I take my place among the angels
I won't glory in my run
But in the power of the cross
And the wisdom of the ages.
