They were watching from a distanceAnd they could not take their eyes from You
You were bleeding, they were weepingFaithful sisters they had followed You
They did not understandThey could not seeThey were mourning their lossAs the sky turned blackAnd the earth turned redAt the foot of the Cross
He was standing near Your motherThey were so close they could hear You sighing
All around them angry voicesPierced the darkness and You were dyingBut they would not leave they lingered thereNo matter the cost
They were staying and they were prayingAt the foot of the Cross
Keep me near the CrossNear the CrossMay I never stray so farThat I cannot seeWhat flowed down for meAt the foot of the Cross
Now I’m standing in Your presenceAnd I cannot take my eyes from You
You have risen I’m forgivenPrecious Savior, oh I worship You
No I’m not looking backI’ve heard Your voice and I’m staying hereI’ve made my choiceFor now it’s real now I kneelAt the foot of the Cross
Keep me near the CrossNear the CrossMay I never stray so farThat I cannot seeWhat flowed down for meAt the foot of the Cross
Keep me near the CrossNear the CrossMay I never stray so farThat I cannot seeWhat flowed down for meAt the foot of the Cross
