Lyrics
REMEMBERING THE CROSS
By Martin Shrout
February 6, 2006 (Words)

VERSE #1
I watched from a distance
I watched him stumble in pain
My eyes were filled with tears
As I felt the weight of my shame
I could have stood by him
I could have shared his fate
Instead I betrayed him
And now it?s too late
CHORUS
Remembering the cross
Seeing His love so plain
Remembering the cross
The day he took my shame
He gave his all
To mend my broken heart
Remembering the cross
Gives me a new start
VERSE #2
I can still hear the pounding
Of the nails in his hand
The image of his agony
Is more than I can stand
The silhouette of the cross
Against the darkened sky
Hangs in my memory
When I stood and watched him die
CHORUS
Remembering the cross
Seeing His love so plain
Remembering the cross
The day he took my shame
He gave his all
To mend my broken heart
Remembering the cross
Gives me a new start
BRIDGE
Why did he have to die,
And carry all my sin?
Why did he have to die,
And carry all my sin?
Why did he have to die,
And carry all my sin?
Why did he have to die,
And carry all my sin?
