SYMBOL OF THE CROSS

The cross was a symbol—of torture, shame and pain

And on a cross such as this—my saviour was slain

But His blood changed that cross–-to a sign of victory

Now this symbol of torture–means hope for you and me

CHORUS

On that symbol of defeat—He won our victory

On that cross of the lost—He set all sinners free

In the tomb of the dead—gained life eternity

The symbol of fear and dread—now means comfort to me

The cross once meant evil—where wicket men would die

Would strike fear into man’s heart–as they would walk by

Now it means salvation—with victory over sin

A lighthouse for all sinners—to guide and lead us in

REPEAT CHORUS
