Before the Cross

 

 

May I never boast of anything except the cross of Christ

 

 

The world's been crucified to me since for the world He was sacrificed

 

 

Take up the cross the cross of Christ...The rood of redemption

 

 

The cursed tree...The Stumbling stone of the world will not let you fall

 

 

For crucified you shall be free...

 

 

 

Whoever seeks to follow ...His self he must deny

 

 

He who seeks to save his life will lose it bye and bye.

 

 

Take up the cross the cross of Christ...The rood of redemption

 

 

The cursed tree...The Stumbling stone of the world will not let you fall

 

 

For crucified you shall be free...

 

 

Before the cross after the loss and pain...   Before the cross eternity is gained

 

 

Before the cross of Christ   we become a living sacrifice

 

 

Holy and acceptable forever to remain...

 

 

Take up the cross the cross of Christ...The rood of redemption

 

 

The cursed tree...The Stumbling stone of the world will not let you fall

 

 

For crucified you shall be free...
