Full Lyrics
You came into the world as a tiny child,
Small and unassuming.
From your first conscious thought,
You knew Calvary was before you looming.
Knew who you were, what you would do,
Why you had been sent to this place to face the cross.
Never turn away, the salvation of the world hangs in the balance.
You must face the cross, follow, obey.
Knowing God will make, God will make a way for you to face the cross.
Mary, on Golgotha's hills mourning ev'ry wound,
Broken hearted crying.
You can't believe your eyes, cannot bear to see your son and Savior dying.
You heard his first word, held him in your arms.
Now you pray to heaven for grace to face the cross.
Never run away, the salvation of the world hangs in the balance.
You must face the cross, follow and obey.
Knowing God will make, God will make a way, for you to face the cross.
How hard it is to look upon that dying form,
To resist the urge to run for cover from the storm.
But each of us is free to choose to turn away,
Or to stay and embrace the cross.
Stand and face the cross, the salvation of the world hangs in the balance.
Stand and face the cross, never turn away, follow and obey.
Knowing God will make a way for you to face the cross,
Face the cross, face the cross.
