Fearing the battle was over
and I'd already lost the war.
I was tired of trying and failing.
I just couldn't fight anymore.
So, dragging my battle scarred body,
I crawled to the foot of the cross.
And I sobbed, "Oh please, Father, forgive me."
But I tried ... I tried and still lost."
Then the air grew silent around me.
I heard his voice just as clear as the dawn:
"Oh, My child, though you are tired and weary,
you can't stop. You have to go on."
At the Foot of the Cross, where I met Him.
At the Foot of the Cross, where He died.
I felt love, as I knelt in His presence.
I felt hope, as I looked in His eyes.
Then He gathered me lovingly to Him.
As around us God's light clearly shone.
And together we walked through my lifetime,
to heal every wound I had known.
I found bits of my dreams long forgotten,
and pieces of my life on the floor.
But I watched as He tenderly blessed them.
And my life was worth living once more.
I knew then why I had been losing.
I knew why I had not grown.
At the foot of the Cross came the answer:
I'd been fighting the battle alone.
At the Foot of the Cross, where I met Him.
At the Foot of the Cross, where He died.
Then I knew I could face any challenge.
Together - just my Lord and I.

Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would
have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there
ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
