Cross of Gold
I see you with that cross of gold
That is hung around your neck
Does that mean that you're a Christian
Well I had no idea
Believe me when I say to you
I'm not here to judge you of your sins
But that cross you wear means much to me
So where do I begin
First of all do you know the one
And why it is he died
And why it's sometimes referred to as
The Sacrificial Cross of Christ
And what about the countless followers
Who gladly gave their lives
To spread the truth that they held to
The Cross of Jesus Christ
Some might wonder and disagree
Yet still find it rather sad
That at thirty three one would willing
Give up what little life they had
It wasn't what he gave up
But what it was he gained
It wasn't for himself he died
But for the sinful plight of man
You see in ourselves there is no hope
Nothing that we can
Do to earn what we don't deserve
In this state of fallen man
That is why it is he came
To justify the lost
And remind us of the Fathers love
In that Sacrificial Cross
So you may have only thought of it
As a piece of jewelry that you wear
Next time you hang it around your neck
Remember what it is and why I care
