Worship Songs

I cling to the cross

Chris Juby

I cling to the cross
The everlasting covenant of God
All else is but loss
Compared with knowing Jesus' saving love

This is the hope that I have found
There is life, there is freedom
Bought on the cross with saving blood
Jesus Christ, my redeemer

Now with unveiled eyes
We understand the mystery of love
We are one with Christ
And drawn into the very life of God

One day we will wake
All sorrow, pain and fear will simply fade
We will only praise
The all-surpassing glory of his name

Notes and files

I wrote this song in early 2004. The verses explore the past, present and future implications of the Cross for the believer, and the chorus responds in celebration.
