Hold on to the Cross

On a hill two-thousand years ago

A rugged cross was raised

For all the world to see

On that cross hung the Son of God

To take our sins away

To die for you and me

His sacrifice displayed a love

Never seen before

He's all my strength

He's all my hope

He's everything I live for

I will hold on to the cross

Surrender my life completely

Deep inside my heart I know

He will never let me go

I will hold on to the cross

And when this world pulls against me

He will be the strength I need

I will hold on to the cross

On that hill I have found a love

That will not fade away

For all eternity

A love so strong it

Reaches down through time

To fill my heart today

To live in me

I know that everything

I'll ever need is waiting there

My every strength, my every hope

The answer to my every prayer

To the peace I find in knowing

That His love will never fail

To the mercy and the hope I find

In Him and nowhere else
