Brandon Heath - Standing By the Cross lyrics

rate me

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Which before the cross I spend

Life and health and peace possessing

From the sinners only Friend

Here I’ll rest forever viewing

Mercy poured in streams of blood

Precious drops my soul bedewing

Plead and claim my peace with God

Standing by the cross

The cross of Calvary

Looking up to my sweet Jesus

Mercy given full and free

Truly blessed is the station

Low before His cross to lie

While I see divine compassion

Beaming in his gracious eye

Here I feel my sins forgiven

While upon the Lamb I gaze

And my thoughts are all of heaven

And my lips overflow with praise

Standing by the cross

The Cross of Calvary

Looking up to my sweet Jesus

Mercy given full and free
