Let It Be The Cross

Let it be the cross And the shame that you bore We esteemed you stricken Laid on you was our scorn

Let it be the cross That draws men to you Not by words not by power Not by wisdom shall they come Yet every knee will bow

Will he not use the foolish to shame the wise Will he not use the weak to shame the strong

Will he not use the foolish to shame the wise Will he not use the weak to shame the strong

Let it be the cross That brings glory to God A radical reversal And a stumbling block And every knee will bow

Will he not use the foolish to shame the wise Will he not use the weak to shame the strong

Will he not use the foolish to shame the wise Will he not use the weak to shame the strong

We will empty ourselves just to mirror our King We will walk in the way of humility And daily bear our cross And count all else as loss

We will empty ourselves just to mirror our King We will walk in the way of humility And daily bear our cross And count all else as loss

We will empty ourselves just to mirror our King We will walk in the way of humility And daily bear our cross And count all else as loss

Let it be the cross And the shame that you bore Let it be the cross That brings glory to God
