Still the Cross [Multimedia Track] Lyrics
Jeromy Deibler, Scott Williamson, Donna Smith
This is really our theme right now. After all the years we've been together and everything we've been through, this is still what it's all about. My aunt Donna wrote a lyric for a song called 'It's Still the Cross' and gave it to me two years ago. I wrote the rest of the song and played it for the band, but it didn't really fit for us at the time. Later, when we were looking for a really strong Christian anthem, Scott Williamson and I began working again on this song and completely rewrote it all, but kept the title. As we began to pull songs for this album, we played this one and people really gravitated towards it. I think if there's a statement we want to make right now, it's this one... about Jesus. --Jeromy
Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us
We fear it all may one day come undone
We can't forget the One who came before us
To forgive the past and bring hope for what's to come
When it all comes crashing down
The cross still stands alone
And on this our faith is built
And our courage is made strong
When the world falls apart
And you fear for your heart
There's a tower of peace
It's still the cross
So bring your sick and your poor
And your longing for more
To the place of relief
It's still the cross
There is hope for the lost
It's still the cross
Sometimes it seems that I have been forgotten
I don't know how I will make it on my own
But the One who said I will never be forsaken
He still hears my prayer and I will never be alone
Though the world may not confess
You and Your holiness
One day all will see
You in all Your majesty
And the cross will stand alone
As the place where You made known
Your love for all mankind
Till then in it we'll hide
