Beneath the Shadow of the Cross (Christian Worship)

[Verse 1] The hill was bare and cold The sky held back its light You walked with bloodied hands For a world that lost its sight The wood was rough and dark The nails were set in place And still You gave Your life With mercy on Your face [Pre-Chorus] Oh, Lamb of God You stayed Oh, Holy One You paid Every sin that I could name You carried it into the grave [Chorus] Beneath the shadow of the cross My pride falls to the ground Beneath the shadow of the cross My heart is holy now You took my shame, You took my loss Love poured out, and held me close Beneath the shadow of the cross I am not my own [Verse 2] I hear the hammer blow I feel the silence break The earth stood still to see The veil begin to shake What kind of love would stay When every wound was bare What kind of King would kneel And meet us in our fear [Pre-Chorus] Oh, Lamb of God You stayed Oh, Holy One You paid Every sin that I could name You carried it into the grave [Chorus] Beneath the shadow of the cross My pride falls to the ground Beneath the shadow of the cross My heart is holy now You took my shame, You took my loss Love poured out, and held me close Beneath the shadow of the cross I am not my own [Bridge] When darkness covered all Your promise still held fast You spoke a final word And death could not outlast So when my hope is thin And when my tears run dry I will stand where mercy bled And lift my weary eyes [Chorus] Beneath the shadow of the cross My pride falls to the ground Beneath the shadow of the cross My heart is holy now You took my shame, You took my loss Love poured out, and held me close Beneath the shadow of the cross I am not my own
