When He Was On the Cross (I Was On His Mind)

I'm not on an ego trip, I'm nothing on my own

I've made mistakes, and often slipped,

I'm just common flesh and bone

But I'll prove someday just why I say

I'm of a special kind

For when he was on the cross, I was on his mind


He knew me, yet he loved me

He whose glory makes the heavens shine

So unworthy, of such mercy

For when he was on the cross, I was on his mind


A look of love was on his face, the thorns upon his head

The blood ran down that sacred face, its stain was crimson red

But his eyes were on the crowd that day, Jesus looked ahead in time

For when he was on the cross, you and I were on his mind


He knew me, yet he loved me

He whose glory makes the heavens shine

So unworthy, of such mercy

For when he was on the cross, I was on his mind
