Before the Cross Lyrics

Wrong turns and a troubled journey
Kept me submit to the flesh
Then a miraculous event fell upon me
As my tongue began to profess
That He suffered and died on the Calvary cross
That He rose from the grave
A sinless life He gave up for us
And through faith have I been saved

No longer am I led by a serpent
Never shall I return to the devil's claws
This world has lost another servant
Now I kneel before the cross

I've felt the burden of having a pain
That is truly heavy to bear
And the relief when He lifted me up
By the mighty power of prayer
From a pit of despair
Once upon a time it was darkness
That bestrew my life
Until I entrusted my Heavenly Father
Who showed me the light
