Name: At the Foot of the Cross
Duration: P00H05M11S
Description: This is a song that was an integral element of my concerts over the years. It's a bit ironic, because I had trouble singing it live at first. However, it ended up being a song that others resonated with as well. Now, 24 years later, I've decided to re-record it for my "Voices: the nomad chronicles vol. 2" collection.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Have You brought me here
Among these rocks and thorns
Listening for the voice that I long to hear
Lord, let this be my plea
Keep me on my knees
That I would not forget Your mercy

Chorus:
At the foot of the cross
I’m broken and I’m weak
At the foot of the cross
I lay everything

Verse 2:
Oh Friend of mine
Once bruised, bleeding and torn
Let me not forget why You hung there
My iniquities You paid
My sin Your joy to bear
Your love that draws and holds me close to You
