WHY MUST WE GRIEVE

I read in the paper/ where they're taking down

The cross from the school/ on the other side of town

They say it might offend/ those that don't believe

What about those that do/ why are we left to grieve

CHORUS 1

Why must we grieve/ those that still believe—in Jesus Christ

Why must we cry/ cause others deny/ His sacrifice

Why must we weep/ why can't we keep/ His cross on high

Does it offend/ a few sinful men/ who'd rather defy

---------------------------------------------------------

I saw on the TV/ where we can not pray

Before a sports game/ not one word can we say

They are hiding His picture/ so they can not see

The one that died for them/ so that they could be free

REPEAT CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

Why must we bow/ why must we allow—this to go on

This is our home/ why must we moan/ let them be gone

Just let us pray/ the same old way/ we did before

If it offends/ no offense my friends/ but there's the door
