You Were On The Cross Lyrics

Lost, everything is lost
And everything I've loved before is gone
Alone like the coming of the frost
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart

And where were You when all that I've hoped for?
Where were You when all that I've dreamed?
Came crashing down in shambles around me
You were on the cross

Pain, could you take away the pain?
If I find someone to blame, would it make my life seem easier?
Alone, all my friends are asleep
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me

Where were You when sin stole my innocence?
Where were You when I was ashamed?
Hiding in a life, I wish, I never made

You were on the cross, my God, my God, all alone, all alone
You were on the cross, You died for us, all alone, all alone
You were on the cross, victorious, all alone, all alone

You were there in all of my suffering
And You were there in doubt and in fear
I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear
