G D C D G D/F#
Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
Em Bm C G/B D
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
Em Bm C G/B D
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
G D C D G
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.
[Verse 2]
G D C D G D/F#
Upon the cross of Jesus, mine eye at times can see
Em Bm C G/B D
The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;
Em Bm C G/B D
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess
G D C D G
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
[Verse 3]
G D C D G D/F#
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place:
Em Bm C G/B D
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
Em Bm C G/B D
Content to let the world go by to know no gain nor loss,
G D C D G
My sinful self my only shame, my glory, all the cross.
