D Em G D/F#
D
Beneath the cross of Jesus
A D
I fain would take my stand.
Bm G
The shadow of a mighty rock
Em D D/F#
Within a weary land.
D
A home within the wilderness,
G
A rest upon the way.
A D
From the burning of the noontide heat
D A D
And burdens of the day.
D
Upon the cross of Jesus,
A D
Mine eyes at times can see
Bm G
The very dying form of One
Em D D/F#
Who suffered there for me.
D
And from my stricken heart with tears
G
Two wonders I confess,
A D
The wonders of redeeming love
D A D
And my unworthiness.
D
I take, O cross, thy shadow
A D
For my abiding place.
Bm G
I ask no other sunshine than
Em D D/F#
The sunshine of His face.
D
Content to let the world go by
G
To know no gain nor loss.
A D
My sinful self my only shame,
D A D
My glory all the cross.
