Beneath the Shade of the Cross

English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 35:10

Verse 1

If you want pardon, if you want peace, If you want sorrow and sighing to cease, Look up to Jesus who died on the tree To purchase a full salvation.

Chorus

Living beneath the shade of the cross, Counting the jewels of earth but dross, Cleansed in the blood that flows from his side, Enjoying a full salvation.

Verse 2

If you want Je sus to reign in your soul, Plunge in the fountain and you shall be whole, Washed in the blood of the crucified one; Enjoying a full salvation.

Verse 3

If you want boldness, take part in the fight; If you want purity, walk in the light; If you want liberty, shout and be free; Enjoying a full salvation.

Verse 4

If you want holiness, cling to the cross, Counting the riches of earth as dross; Down at his feet you’ll be cleansed and made free; Enjoying a full salvation.
