Lyrics Michael W. Smith

Michael W. Smith

Cross of Gold

Where do you stand

What is your statement

What is it you're trying to say

What's in your hand

What's in your basement

What's in the cards you don't play

Are you holding the key

Or are you intending

To pick the lock of heaven's gate

It's confusing to me

The message you're sending

And I don't know if I can relate

What's your line

Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

State of mind

Or does it find a way into your soul

Is it a flame

Is it a passion

A symbol of love living in you

Or is it a game

Religion in fashion

Some kind of phase you're going thru

We all travel the extremes

From cellar to rafter

Looking for a place in the sun

So I'm trying to see

What you're headed after

But I don't know where you're coming from

What's your line

Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

State of mind

Or does it find a way into your soul

What's your line

Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

State of mind

Or does it find a way into your soul

For some it's simply something to wear around your neck

Just a chain

Jewelry

Is it decoration?

Is it an icon

Or proclamation?

An icon of what?

What?

For some it's simply something to wear around your neck

Just a chain

It means a lot more than that to me

What's your line

Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

State of mind

Or does it find a way into your soul

What's your line

Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

State of mind

Or does it find a way into your soul
