Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Out where the cotton fields stretch to the sky,
I was runnin’ from truth, livin’ a lie.
But an old wooden cross on a hill caught my eye,
Called me back to the love that never will die.
(Chorus)
The cross still stands through the wind and the rain,
A beacon of hope in a world full of pain.
It’s the anchor of mercy, where grace makes its plans,
Hallelujah, forever, the cross still stands!
(Verse 2)
I’ve seen storms tear through this old heart of mine,
Lost in the shadows, I was walkin’ blind.
That weathered old cross glowed with a holy light,
Guidin’ me to my Savior, His blood made me right.
(Chorus)
The cross still stands through the wind and the rain,
A beacon of hope in a world full of pain.
It’s the anchor of mercy, where grace makes its plans,
Hallelujah, forever, the cross still stands!
(Bridge)
When the devil comes knockin’, tryin’ to steal my peace,
I cling to that cross where my chains were released.
It’s the promise of Jesus, His nail-scarred hands,
No power can move it, the cross still stands!
(Chorus)
The cross still stands through the wind and the rain,
A beacon of hope in a world full of pain.
It’s the anchor of mercy, where grace makes its plans,
Hallelujah, forever, the cross still stands!
(Outro)
So I’ll keep on walkin’ this lonesome ole road,
With the cross as my guide, I’m never alone.
Til I reach that sweet home where the angels all dance,
I’ll praise my Redeemer. The cross still stands!
(Tag)
Hallelujah, forever, the cross still stands!
