Avalon - The Cross текст песни

# Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
???Twas there I counted all but loss;
???Twas there I gave my heart to God,
???Twas there He washed me in His blood,
And spake the words, ???Thy sins forgiv???n,???
And filled my soul with peace from heav???n.
# Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
The only way for sinners lost,
The only way that we can gain
An entrance to this heav???nly plane;
???Twas there my night was turned to day,
???Twas there I found the heav???nly way.
# Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
???Twas there I counted well the cost,
???Twas there my soul was sanctified,
???Tis there I ever will abide;
???Tis there we find the purest gold,
And joys that never can be told.
# Oh, the cross! the precious cross!
To me this world is naught but dross,
Far richer treasures now I own,
While up the shining way I run;
When in that heav???nly land I???ll see
The One who bore the cross for me
