In The Shadow Of The Cross There I lay my burdens down,
Where my Jesus bled and died
To set me FREE.

It was there I saw the light
On that dark, so lonely night.
In the shadow, In the shadow
Of the cross.

In the shadow of His love
There I found such peace of mind
When I knelt in prayer and asked
Him to come.

In the shadow of the cross
I traded burdens for a crown.

In the center of the cross
There I found my joy within
When my heart had listened
To the call of God.

Now I live each day for Him
And His spirit dwells within.
That is why my heart can sing
And to Jesus I can bring
Every burden that I carry
Every day.
So I bring it to the shadow of the cross
And I leave it at the shadow of the cross.
