I Found It at the Cross

I did not be­lieve the sto­ry

Of a re­sur­rect­ion day

Then the grave so dark and gloomy

Filled my soul with deep dis­may;

But I found one bless­èd morn­ing

Every doubt was cleared away

As I stood be­side the cross of Je­sus.

Yes

I found it at the cross

I found it at the cross

At the cross

the bless­èd cross of Je­sus;

There I found one bless­èd morn­ing

Every doubt was cleared away

As I stood be­side the cross of Je­sus.

So al­tho’ I first drew near it

When the world seemed dark and drear

Soon my heart was filled with sing­ing

When I heard the words of cheer;

As the bless­èd Ho­ly Spir­it

Whispered to me

Do not fear

There is hope in yon­der cross of Je­sus.

At the bless­èd cross of Je­sus

There I saw my path­way clear

At the bless­èd cross of Je­sus

There He wiped away each tear;

There I bur­ied ev­ery sor­row

There I bur­ied ev­ery fear

As I bowed be­fore the cross of Je­sus.

Now I take there all my bur­dens

There I car­ry ev­ery care

And I give them to the Mas­ter

So no long­er I des­pair;

Some sweet day my Lord will call me

To come meet Him in the air

As I wait be­side the cross of Je­sus.

At the bless­èd cross of Je­sus

There I saw my path­way clear

At the bless­èd cross of Je­sus

There He wiped away each tear;

There I bur­ied ev­ery sor­row

There I bur­ied ev­ery fear

As I bowed be­fore the cross of Je­sus.

Now I take there all my bur­dens

There I car­ry ev­ery care

And I give them to the Mas­ter

So no long­er I des­pair;

Some sweet day my Lord will call me

To come meet Him in the air

As I wait be­side the cross of Je­sus.
