Songtext von Standing By The Cross

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Which before the cross I spend Life and health and peace possessing From the sinners only Friend Here I'll rest forever viewing Mercy poured in streams of blood Precious drops my soul bedewing Plead and claim my peace with God Standing by the cross The cross of Calvary Looking up to my sweet Jesus Mercy given full and free Truly blessed is the station Low before His cross to lie While I see divine compassion Beaming in his gracious eye Here I feel my sins forgiven While upon the Lamb I gaze And my thoughts are all of heaven And my lips overflow with praise Standing by the cross The Cross of Calvary Looking up to my sweet Jesus Mercy given full and free
