Shadow Of The Cross (Slow Tempo)

     SHADOW OF THE CROSS

 

A COLD AND LIFELESS BODY

WAS ALL THAT THEY COULD SEE

THE DARKNESS NOW WAS LIFTED

AND THE SHADOWS  PLAINLY SEEN

A FEW HAD STAYED THERE PRAYING

WHILE HIS MOTHER KNELT TO WEEP

THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS HAD FELL

TO COVER THOSE AT HIS FEET

 

THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS

SHELTERED THEM

THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS

A REFUGE FOR MEN

AND THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS

STILL COVERS SIN

FOR IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS

HIS BLOOD WAS SHED

 

FRIENDS CAME TO TAKE HIS BODY

AND AS THEY WRAPPED HIM IN A SHEET

THE SUN WAS NOW BEHIND THE CROSS

AND THE SHADOW COVERED THEM

AS THEY RAISED HIS BROKEN BODY

AND BEGAN TO CARRY HIM

THE SHADOW HAD GROWN TO COVER

MANY WALKING DOWN THE HILL

CHORUS:

 

NO LONGER THE SAME BODY

NO LONGER ON THE TREE

THE SON OF GOD HAS RISEN

AND NOW LIVES ETERNALLY

THE SACRIFICE NOW GIVEN

FOR ALL HUMANITY

THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS STILL

COVERS ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE

CHORUS
