AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS I STAND [Instrumental Intro: solo piano and soft acoustic guitar, 4 bars] Verse 1 At the foot of the cross I stand, Weary, worn, and weak; All the strength this world can give Is not the strength I seek. Burdened soul and trembling heart, I have no strength to plead; So I bring my wounded heart, Lord Jesus, here to Thee. Verse 2 Every memory, every scar, Every hidden pain, Every burden I have borne I surrender in Your name. You have seen what none could see, You have heard my silent cries; Still Your faithful hand has held me Through the darkest nights. Chorus Grace flows down from Calvary, Mercy reaches even me; In my sorrow, love I find, Peace this world could never buy. I am Yours, though torn apart; You have claimed this weary heart. At the cross, at last I see— Jesus gave His life for me. Verse 3 No more striving on my own, No more standing proud; At the feet of Christ my King, I lay my burdens down. What I could not bear alone, I surrender at Your feet; For Your grace is all sufficient, And Your strength is strong in me. Bridge Nothing in my hands I bring, Nothing I could ever earn; Only to the cross I cling, To the Savior I return. When my strength has reached its end, Still Your promises remain: Jesus Christ, my risen Lord, Forever You will reign. Final Chorus Grace flows down from Calvary, Mercy reaches even me; In my sorrow, love I find, Peace this world could never buy. I am Yours, though torn apart; You have claimed this weary heart. At the cross, at last I see— Jesus gave His life for me. Outro At the foot of the cross I stand… Not because I’m strong— But because You are.
