[Faith-talk] Reflections for Easter Sunday, (4-24-2011)

[Joshua Lester]

"In the Shadow of the Cross."
Vs:1. In the shadow of the cross
standing on Mount Calvary
the son of God was born into this world.
By the time that he was twelve
he knew that he must die
upon a cruel cross to save the world.
Vs: 2. In the shadow of the cross
where the blood of Jesus flowed
as saints throughout the ages lived for God.
I'll embrace my faith in him
and I'll have no treasures here
as long as down upon this earth I trod.
Chorus: In the shadow of the cross
he lived every day.
Healing, helping, saving, giving
his whole life away
and the path, his footsteps made
leads me straight towards the sky,
and in the shadow of the cross
I'll live, and die.
This song was written by Darol Colorford, and recorded by the Country
Gospel Express, in 1996.
You won't find this song anywhere, but the song has meant alot to me.
Blessings, Joshua
