Lyrics
I woke up this morning I was lying on the floor
Thought to myself "I can't take this any more.
This life that I'm living, I'd be better off dead."
That's when I heard a small Voice in my head (and it said):
At The Foot Of The Cross / The Foot Of The Cross
Salvation / redemption / a new life;
this is what it will cost
Bring all your troubles and treasures and count - count them as loss
I rolled myself over and as far as I could see
There was no one around, nobody sitting there with me
"This must be the end, I must be coming undone."
Then the Voice laughed and said, "No, this is only just begun"
Change didn't come easy, didn't happen over night
Introspection, reflection and prayer finally made me right
And just when I thought that I had nothing left to learn
The Voice spoke up and said; "Now it's someone else's turn"
At The Foot Of The Cross / The Foot Of The Cross
Salvation / redemption / a new life;
this is what it will cost
Bring all your troubles and treasures and count - count them as loss
To The Foot Of The Cross / The Foot Of The Cross
I wake up each morning a born again man
I live my life each day with a purpose,
a goal and a plan
The door is wide open:
It's your time to step across
Just come in and join us
At the foot, at the foot of the cross!
