Song Lyrics

"You Were on the Cross"

by Matt Maher
Album: Alive Again

Lost
Everything is lost
And everything I've loved before is gone
Alone, like the coming of the frost
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart

Where were You when all that I've hoped for
Where were You when all that I've dreamed
Came crashing down in shambles around me
You were on the cross

Pain
Could You take away the pain
If I find someone to blame
Would it make my life seem easier
Alone, all my friends are asleep
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me

And where were You when sin stole my innocence
Where were You when I was ashamed
Hiding in a life I wish I'd never made

You were on the cross
My God, my God
All along, all along
You were on the cross
You died for us
All along, all along
You were on the cross
Victorious
All along, all along

You were there in all of my suffering
You were there in doubt and in fear
I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear
