Jason Crabb - There's Not a Crown Without a Cross lyrics

rate me

To every life that comes to question of the heart

For extraordinary pain

Struggle greats you on the mountains that you climb

A war into the soul for every step you gain.

Remember when the winds of sorrow struck you down

And leave you hopeless and afraid

The proof of battle is the wounds that you will bear

The scars that built you strong for the journey that you make!

Chorus:

There's not a victory without a fight,

There's not a sunrise without a night,

There's not a purchase without a cause,

There's not a crown without a cross!

Uh, without a cross no, no, no!

The great anguish came upon a man

And when the Son of Glory died

The sins of all us were nails that pierced His hands

An act of sacrifice, the pain within the price!

His crown was smashed from His suffering and travail

Shone like the sun when He arose

And show us triumph even when the war was lost

He carried out a plan so that every man will know:

Chorus:

There's not a victory without a fight,

There's not a sunrise without a night,

There's not a purchase without a cause,

There's not a crown without a cross!

God will guide you when you cling to His hand

Strength will find you when you'll know how to stand

To persevere to the end!

Chorus:

There's not a victory without a fight,

There's not a sunrise without a night,

There's not a purchase without a cause,

There's not a crown without a cross!

Oh, and there's not a crown without a cross!
