|
They were watching from a distance
|
And they could not take their eyes from You
|
You were bleeding¡¦they were weeping
|
Faithful sisters¡¦they had followed you
|
They did not understand
|
They could not see
|
They were mourning their loss
|
As the sky turned black
|
And the Earth turned red
|
At the foot of the cross
|
|
He was standing near your mother
|
They were so close they could hear you sighing
|
All around them angry voices
|
Pierced the darkness and you were dying
|
|
But they would not leave they lingered there
|
No matter the cost
|
They were staying and they were praying
|
At the foot of the cross
|
|
CHORUS
|
Keep me near the cross
|
Near the cross
|
May I never stray so far
|
That I cannot see
|
What flowed down for me
|
At the foot of the cross
|
|
Now I¡¯m standing in your presence
|
And I cannot take my eyes from you
|
You have risen I¡¯m forgiven
|
Precious Saviour oh I worship you
|
No I¡¯m not looking back
|
I¡¯ve heard your voice and I¡¯m staying here
|
I¡¯ve made my choice
|
For now it¡¯s real now I kneel
|
At the foot of the cross
|
|
CHORUS (repeat 2X)
|

At the foot of the cross
