The morning sun burned bright on a wall of Roman steel
The courtyard overflowing with soldiers swords and shields
As they brought the wooden alter to the One condemned to die
No one could explain it the strange look in His eyes
As if He could see beyond all the suffering He faced
As He turned to leave the city His silence seemed to say

I will embrace the cross
I will embrace the cross
There’s life beyond the life that is lost
And I will embrace the cross

The dusty road He walked
The crown of thorns He wore
The cries of “crucify Him”
The burden He bore
He pressed through the crowd
Though all His strength was gone
He kept rising through He stumbled determined to go on

I will embrace the cross
I will embrace the cross
There’s life beyond the life that is lost
And I will embrace the cross

For the guards that marched behind Him
For the thieves that walked ahead
For the crowds and for His mother
With every step He said

I will embrace the cross
I will embrace the cross
There’s life beyond the life that is lost
And I will embrace the cross
