Hold On To The Cross

A   Em    G    A


[Verse 1]
D     Em            G             A
On a hill          two-thousand years ago
          D         Em
A rugged cross was raised
    G              A
For all the world to see
D        Em         G               A
On that cross      hung the Son of God
            D     Em
To take our sins away
    G              A
To die for you and me
       Bm
His sacrifice displayed a love
G
Never seen before
             Em
He's all my strength
            Bm
He's all my hope
      G            D    A
He's everything I live for


[Chorus]
D                A           Bm
     I will hold on to the cross
             F#m
Surrender my life completely
G               D
Deep inside my heart I know
Em            G       A
He will never let me go
D                    A        Bm
        I will hold on to the cross
                    F#m
And when this world pulls against me
G                D
He will be the strength I need
Em           G
I will hold on to the cross


[Verse 2]
D       Em            G                A
On that hill           I have found a love
                D       Em
That will not fade away
    G               A
For all eter - ni - ty
D           Em
A love so strong
   G                     A
It reaches down through time
           D        Em
To fill my heart today
     G        A
To live in me
  Bm          F#m
I know that everything
Bm        G
I'll ever need is waiting there
          Em                Bm
My every strength, my every hope
     G             D       A
The answer to my every prayer


[Chorus]
D                A           Bm
     I will hold on to the cross
             F#m
Surrender my life completely
G               D
Deep inside my heart I know
Em            G       A
He will never let me go
D                    A        Bm
        I will hold on to the cross
                    F#m
And when this world pulls against me
G               D
He will be the strength I need
Em           G
I will hold on…..-


[Bridge]
A              Bm      F#m
To the peace I find in knowing
         G
That His love will never fail
       Em            Bm
To the mercy and the hope I find
    G                D     A
In Him and no - one else - - -
