Lyrics
IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS©
(MUSIC AND LYRICS BY DRAKO DEO)
1. IF I COULD STAND
IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS
I?D SEE HIS FACE
I?D SEE HIS LOVE
SHINE DOWN ON ME OH!
CHORUS:
SO MUCH DO YOU LOVE US
SO UNSELFISH YOU HAVE GIVEN
YET WE FAIL TO SEE YOUR PERPOSE
THROUGH OUR BLIND DECREPIT SIN
WE ASK YOU LORD TO HELP US
THROUGH OUR OWN STRENGTH WE WILL FAIL
TO COME TO YOU TO LEARN TO
PLACE OUR LIVES DOWN AT YOUR FEET.
2. AND I WOULD CRY
FOR THE BLOOD THAT?S NOT MY OWN
BUT IN THE MOB, I?D HEAR MYSELF
SCREAM IN RAGE
CRUCIFY HIM, CRUCIFY HIM!
CHORUS:
3. BUT I WAS NOT THERE
TO SEE THE MADNESS AND THE PAIN
AND THUS AGAIN
IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE
YOU MUST SEE
OH! OH!
CHORUS:
