Shadow of the Cross

‘Neath the cross I will take refuge
In this dry and weary land
In the glory of His sacrifice
I will hope and I will stand.

Oh the shadow of the Cross
Fall full upon me I pray
Oh shadow of the Cross
Cover me in your refreshing shade
Be my refuge
In this wilderness
Be my place of shelter
And my place of rest
Be the place where I am fully blessed
Neath the shadow of the cross.

In the light of the glory of the Presence
Casts a cross shaped shadow on our walls
And we tremble in this glory
As on our lives this shadow falls

The cross is a tower
Erected on the Rock
Where His outstetched wings
Shelter His own flock

Oh the shadow of the Cross
Fall full upon me I pray
Oh shadow of the Cross
Cover me in your refreshing shade
Be my refuge
In this wilderness
Be my place of shelter
And my place of rest
Be the place where I am fully blessed
Neath the shadow of the cross.
