At The Foot Of The Cross
They were watching from a distance
And they could not
Take their eyes from You
You were bleeding
They were weeping
Faithful sisters, they had followed you
They did not understand
They could not see
They were mourning their loss
As the sky turned black
And the Earth turned red
At the foot of the cross
He was standing near your mother
They were so close
They could hear you sighing
All around them angry voices
Pierced the darkness
And you were dying
But they would not leave
They lingered there
No matter the cost
They were staying
And they were praying
At the foot of the cross
CHORUS:
Keep me near the cross
Near the cross
May I never stray so far
That I cannot see
What flowed down for me
At the foot of the cross
Now Im standing in your presence
And I cannot take my eyes from you
You have risen Im forgiven
Precious Saviour, oh I worship you
No Im not looking back
Ive heard your voice
And Im staying here
Ive made my choice
For now its real, now I kneel
At the foot of the cross
CHORUS (repeat 2X)
A Los Pies De La Cruz
Ellos estaban observando desde lejos
Y no podían
Apartar la mirada de ti
Estabas sangrando
Ellos estaban llorando
Hermanas fieles, te habían seguido
No entendían
No podían ver
Estaban lamentando su pérdida
Mientras el cielo se oscurecía
Y la Tierra se volvía roja
A los pies de la cruz
Él estaba cerca de tu madre
Estaban tan cerca
Podían escucharte suspirar
A su alrededor voces enojadas
Perforaban la oscuridad
Y estabas muriendo
Pero ellos no se irían
Permanecieron allí
Sin importar el costo
Estaban quedándose
Y estaban orando
A los pies de la cruz
CORO:
Quédate cerca de la cruz
Cerca de la cruz
Que nunca me aleje tanto
Que no pueda ver
Lo que fluyó por mí
A los pies de la cruz
Ahora estoy de pie en tu presencia
Y no puedo apartar la mirada de ti
Has resucitado, soy perdonado
Precioso Salvador, oh te adoro
No estoy mirando atrás
He escuchado tu voz
Y me quedo aquí
He tomado mi decisión
Porque ahora es real, ahora me arrodillo
A los pies de la cruz
CORO (repetir 2 veces)
