I
THIS OLD CROSS WILL NEVER GET TO HARD TO CARRY.
AND THAT OLD MOUNTAIN, NOT ALL THAT STEEP
THAT I CAN'T REACH, THE OTHER SIDE.
AND THE RIVER, WELL IT'S NOT TO DEEP.
WHEN HE'S THE FERRY.
THAT WILL CARRY ME ACROSS THE RAGING TIDE.
II
I WATCHED THE NOON DAY SUN COME UP.
AT MIDNIGHT SHINNING BRIGHT
THE STRANGEST SIGHT, WATCH THE SHADOW'S FLEE THE GLARE
WHAT I MEAN, IS THAT I'VE KNOWN MY SHARE OF HEARTACHES,
BUT IN MY DARKEST, HOUR HIS LIGHT IS ALWAYS THEIR.
CHORUS
SO I'VE LAID MY BURDENS AT MY JESUS FEET.
OH AND TIME AFTER TIME,
AND DAY AFTER DAY, HE'S MADE MY FAITH COMPLETE.
NOW MANY TELL OF SOMETHING THEY KNOW, NOTHING ABOUT.
BUT I KNOW SATAN CANNOT STOP ME, THERE'S KNOW DOUBT.
