Before the Cross
Copyright © 2002 Van Wood
No loss, no gain;
No cross, no pain
He could choose to
pass it up
The crown of
thorns, the jeers, the scorns…
Refuse the bitter
cup
And have it
all…here and now
And make the
crowds believe and bow
But the Garden
calls, and the curtain falls
on this, earth’s
darkest day
While His friends
all sleep, from the inner deep
Jesus bows to
pray…
Not my will,
but thine be done
You my
Father, I your son
