For Every Cross There Is a Crown

Every step I take I know I'm drawing nearer

For the thoughts of worldly wealth mean less each day

The things I used to think were so important

Now they seem to just be in the way

I'm so glad He's offered all of us salvation

For we'd have no hope if He had not come down

He sees each and every heartache, every burden that we carry

And He whispers soon you'll trade them for a crown

Though the road is long and hard and I may stumble

And the world claims victory when I am down

But through it all I'm still clinging to the promise

For every cross there is a crown

The decision's yours, be careful at how you make it

There's a choice to make and you must take a stand

There are a million souls who've died without salvation

And they would trade the world away for one more chance

The greatest miracle taken for granted

Is that the Son of God has died for you and me

And though the world tries to ignore Him, I must shout how I adore Him

Though the devil rages, Jesus I'll believe

Though the road is long and hard and I may stumble

And the world claims victory when I am down

But through it all I'm still clinging to the promise

For every cross there is a crown

But through it all I'm still clinging to the promise

For every cross there is a crown

A crown
