BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS
Verse 1
C G7 C
Beneath the cross of Jesus, I fain would take my stand,
E7 Am Dm Am F F7 E7
The shadow of a might-y Rock within a weary land;
C C7 F A Dm
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
G C C7 C G7 C
From the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day.
Verse 2
C G7 C
Upon the cross of Jesus Mine eye at times can see
E7 Am Dm Am F F7 E7
The very dying form of One who suffered there for me;
C C7 F A Dm
And from my stricken heart with tears, two wonders I confess:
G C C7 C G7 C
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthi- ness.
Verse 3
C G7 C
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place:
E7 Am Dm Am F F7 E7
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
C C7 F A Dm
Content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss;
G C C7 C G7 C
My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
