At the Foot of the Cross

Here are the lyrics to a song from high school - it has always stuck in my memory, but I could never remember the lyrics. More than that, I could never find them when I searched for them. I had an inclination, and went searching one last time, and I found them. Here they are... (It sounds better with music, but I still love the words)

At The Foot of the Cross

Beneath the cross of Jesus, Lord, I would spend my days
In the shadow of the One who ransomed me
May I not become familiar with its marvelous good news
But live my life with it always in my view, oh

At the foot of the cross, Lord I bow down and worship
Overcome by so great a love
At the foot of the cross I will cherish all Your mercy
All Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your pow’r
At the foot of the cross.

Upon the cross of Jesus, Lord, I would fix my eyes
For it always will remind me of these truths
My iniquity seems endless yet greater still your grace
And I will glory in the cross throughout the ages, oh

At the foot of the cross, Lord I bow down and worship
Overcome by so great a love
At the foot of the cross I will cherish all Your mercy
All Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your pow’r
At the foot of the cross.
