Lyrics

This Cross
Copyright  by Ali Matthews (SOCAN) 2000

Deep in the hollow of your heart
I can hear the emptiness calling
The dreams you once held all torn apart
Now darkness is falling
So you sit alone there in your room
And wonder - wonder who

Who will show you the beauty?
Who will wipe away your pain?
Who will carry this cross
Bearing your name - wearing your name?

All the bridges you built out of your own pride
You never made it across them
Your hopeful intentions now denied
How quickly you lost them
I can see you?re broken-hearted
And all you want to know is who

But, there is a light beyond your shame
Mercy is falling down like rain
If you just believe the time has come
The time, it has come

He will show you the beauty
He will wipe away your pain
He has already carried this cross
Bearing your name - wearing your name
