FROM THE CRADLE TO THE CROSS
Verse I:
For God so loved the world,
He gave His only son
He was born in Bethlehem,
The works of grace begun
In His Sov'reign perfect plan,
He became Like one of us
To reach the heart of man, He gave Jesus.
Chorus:
From the cradle to the cross
From the Lord unto the lost
Come the message for all men
Christ was born to die for them
From Bethlehem to Calvary,
Jesus paid the cost
For the love went all the way
From the cradle to the cross.
Verse II:
From the day that He was born
The cross was calling Him,
To the place of sacrifice
Where grace would conquer sin
In a manger love was laid,
But love was born to die,
At Calvary, Christ paid the highest price.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
And the child of Mary born that day
Came to give His life away
(Repeat Chorus)
From Bethlehem to Calvary,
Jesus paid the cost
(For love went all the way)
Yes, love went all the way
(For love went all the way)
Yes, love went all the way
From the cradle to the cross
To the cross, the cross…
THE CROSS HOLY NIGHT
Verse I: Verse I:
To some it's just an emblem a formality. One sacred holy night shepherds in their fields
It's a symbol that's been used so frequently. Startled by angel cry, brightest light
Many blaspheme and despise. A song like never heard and glory all around
Though it's ancient, it abides. Heavenly symphony, hear the sound
A shrine to death that stands for life to me. God has come, we are on Holy ground
Chorus I: Chorus I:
There was a cross made for the Son of God at Calvary. Holy night, holy night
Two pieces of rough timber on a hill. Your glory shining bright
Through His hands and through His feet, Upon that holy night
He took the nails for you and me. In the fields of Bethlehem
Angels watched as He died for the lost.
Though He could have walked away Verse II:
He chose the cross. The wise men travel far, guided by this star
Majesty, mystery, promised King
Verse II: God has come, we can feel Heaven here
You see why this old emblem is so dear to me.
It stood for suffering, yet it brought us peace. Chorus II:
It bridged the gap for me. Holy night, holy night
Offered cleansing for our sins. Your glory shining bright
An icon that reminds us that we're free. Upon that holy night
(Repeat Chorus) In the streets of Bethlehem
Holy night, holy night
Bridge: Your glory shining bright
God forbid that I should ever let my memory fade. But Upon that holy night
forever keep the cross in view for that's where I was saved. When their eyes beheld the King
Chorus II:
There was a cross made for the Son of God at Calvary.
Two pieces of rough timber on a hill.
Through His hands and through His feet,
He took the nails for you and me.
Angels watched as He died for the lost.
Though He could have walked away
He chose the cross….
The cross…
Though He could have walked away
He chose the cross….
He chose the cross….
