The Cross

One of the most important symbols in the history of mankind. Tim and I tried to collect some of the different aspects of life represented by it. We could have filled more verses but felt that a shorter song would be better suitable to the musicality of this song, rooted in the history of the old Gospel songs we both love so much.

Lyrics

THE CROSS
(© 2024, Tim Stafford, Thomm Jutz, Daniel House Music, BMI; Thommsongs SESAC admin. Blue Water)

V) God and neighbor, thief and savior
good and evil, on a steeple
South and North long and short
East and West Worst and Best

V) Christmas day and Easter morn
Restoration, curtain torn
Soul and mind heart and hand
Son of God, Son of man

CH) Opposites in each direction
birth, death and resurrection
All that’s won and all that’s lost
Come together in the cross

V) Flesh and spirit Draws us near it
Up and down, in and out
High up on a mountainside
halfway between the Earth and sky

V) Wood and metal on the level
Well-Constructed still Corrupted
Punishment and sacrifice
Crown of thorns, roll the dice
