At the Foot of the Cross 

Fearing the battle was over 
And I'd already lost the war, 
I was tired of trying and failing. 
I just couldn't fight anymore. 

So, dragging my battle-scarred body, 
I crawled to the foot of the cross. 
And I sobbed. "Oh please, Father forgive me. 
But I tried... I tried... and still lost." 

Then the air grew silent around me. 
I heard his voice just as clear as the dawn: 
"Oh, My child, though you are tired and weary, 
You can't stop, you have to go on." 

At the foot of the Cross, where I met Him, 
At the foot of the Cross, where He died, 
I felt love, as I knelt in His presence. 
I felt hope, as I looked in His eyes. 

Then He gathered me lovingly to Him, 
As around us God's light clearly shone. 
And together we walked through my lifetime 
To heal every wound I had known. 

I found bits of my dreams, long forgotten, 
And pieces of my life on the floor. 
But I watched as He tenderly blessed them, 
And my life was worth living once more. 

I knew then why I had been losing. 
I knew why I had not grown. 
At the foot of the Cross came the answer: 
I'd been fighting the battle alone. 

At the foot of the Cross, where I met Him, 
At the foot of the Cross, where He died, 
Then I knew I could face any challenge 
Together--just my Lord and I.
