Beneath The Cross Of Jesus

  G                  D       C          D       G   D/F#
Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
    Em          Bm              C    G/B   D
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
  Em              Bm            C    G/B      D
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
         G              D                      C      D      G
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.

 G                D           C      D         G   D/F#
Upon the cross of Jesus, mine eye at times can see
    Em         Bm              C        G/B       D
The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;
    Em               Bm                   C      G/B   D
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess
    G            D                C    D     G
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.

  G                  D          C   D      G   D/F#
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place:
  Em           Bm                C        G/B    D
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
   Em              Bm             C       G/B      D
Content to let the world go by to know no gain nor loss,
   G              D              C      D       G
My sinful self my only shame, my glory, all the cross.
