[Verse 1]
G
Beneath the cross of Jesus
D7 G
I fain would take my stand,
Em Am
The shadow of a might - y Rock
B7 F#7 B7
With - in a wea - ry land;
G G7
A home with - in the wil - der - ness,
C E Am
A rest up - on the way
D G G7
From the burning of the noontide heat
C G D7 G
And the burden of the day.
[Verse 2]
G
Upon that cross of Jesus
D7 G
Mine eye at times can see
Em Am
The very dy - ing form of One
B7 F#7 B7
Who suffered there for me;
G G7
And from my stricken heart, with tears,
C E Am
Two wonders I con - fess:
D G G7
The wonders of His Glorious love
C G D7 G
And my un – worthi - ness.
[Verse 3]
G
I take, O cross, thy shadow
D7 G
For my a – bid – ing place;
Em Am
I ask no other sunshine than
B7 F#7 B7
The sunshine of His face;
G G7
Con – tent to let the world go by,
C E Am
To know no gain or loss,
D G G7
My sinful self - my on – ly shame,
C G D7 G
My glory - all the cross.
