Beyond the Cross
the rising sun
the risen Lord
in glory comes
to save us all for
we have been redeemed.
And we can see
beyond the cross
a vision there of
everlasting peace…
|
Beyond the cross on which he died,
the promise of eternal life
with Jesus Christ our Saviour and our Lord,
and we can see beyond the cross a vision there of everlasting peace...
Beyond the cross we have to bear,
beyond the darkness and despair,
the risen Lord has conquered sin and death,
and
we can see beyond the cross a vision there of everlasting
peace...
We praise you Lord, we worship you,
we glorify your holy name,
Your radiance shines out throughout the world,
and we can see beyond the cross a vision there of everlasting peace

At Easter we look beyond the cross on Good Friday
to the joy of the resurrection and the peace that comes from Jesus Christ.
This song was inspired by a visit to Assisi in Italy, home of St Francis.
Sitting in a quiet chapel, seeing the silhouette of a crucifix
in front of an illuminated golden tabernacle,
the words "Beyond the Cross" came to mind.
On reflection, whatever crosses
we have to put up with in life,
if we can look beyond them,
God is always there for us,
a source of everlasting peace.
