louis rams - The Cross

praise him in all his glory
for behind this is a story.
a story for all the world to see.
and how He set mankind free.

HE gave up his life so that we may live
and freed us of mortal sin.

nailed to the cross with just a loin cloth.
and how they gambled for his garments
with his blood and everything on it.

and when the sky turned completly black
everyone ran and turned their backs.

they did not have any idea
the power that this man possessed
until they put their faith to the test.

when he came back on the third day
you could hear everyone say
HE is truely the son of GOD
and i'll keep him in my heart.

he kept his word that he'd return
and to his words we would forever learn.
after the sighting of his reincarnation
believers gathered for a celebration.
and on that day the number of apostles grew
to better serve me and you.

now there are holy men in every nation
praying for our salvation.
the cross that he was nailed to, still exists
but now it lives in our hearts
and has become a very big part
of the daily lives we live.
for the cross that we carry
is much different than his.

for we all have burdens and pains
that we must go through.
for that is the cross that we must bear,
and to the world our faith we share.

so carry this cross and hold your head up high
for he is looking down from the sky.
