Beneath The Cross Of Jesus chords by Songs Of Praise

Words by Elizabeth C Clephane
Music by Fredrick C Maker


[Verse 1]

G
Beneath the cross of Jesus
  D7                 G
I fain would take my stand,
    Em                    Am
The shadow of a might - y Rock
       B7   F#7      B7
With - in a wea - ry land;
G                                G7
A home with - in the wil - der - ness,
  C         E      Am
A rest up - on the way
         D              G        G7
From the burning of the noontide heat
C       G      D7     G
And the burden of the day.

[Verse 2]

G
Upon that cross of Jesus
     D7               G
Mine eye at times can see
    Em                    Am
The very dy - ing form of One
    B7       F#7       B7
Who suffered there for me;
G                                G7
And from my stricken heart, with tears,
    C       E       Am
Two wonders I con - fess:
    D              G        G7
The wonders of His Glorious love
C   G       D7       G
And my un – worthi - ness.


[Verse 3]

G
I take, O cross, thy shadow
    D7               G
For my a – bid – ing place;
  Em                    Am
I ask no other sunshine than
    B7       F#7    B7
The sunshine of His face;
G                              G7
Con – tent to let the world go by,
   C       E       Am
To know no gain or loss,
   D                G       G7
My sinful self - my on – ly shame,
C  G       D7      G
