John Schlitt - The Cross Remains lyrics

Though the hardest heart of men Try to lead us to an end We may fall, still our hope remains When the darkness turns to light When the flames begin to die Through the smoke the cross remains (chorus) It is time to act beyond our good intentions Pushing back no matter what the cost We won't let them build an altar on our sorrow There'll be no laughing at our scars They're now a part of who we are Though there's tension in the air Sometimes more than we can bear Still we find our hope remains Yet the story stays the same With different chapters, different names Through it all the cross remains (repeat chorus) (bridge) We're beginning now to see The sacrifice of being free Remember, it's not what they say Just watch what they do The evidence has fallen down Right in front of you It's right in front of you (repeat vs. 1) Through it all the cross remains (x 2) Through the smoke Through the tears Through so many years The cross remains When the darkness turns to light When the flames begin to die The cross remains, the cross remains Though there's tension in the air Sometimes more than we can bear Through it all the cross remains
