Petra - Marks Of The Cross Lyrics
These days shallow and feeble resolve aboundAnd true devotion and passionate fervor are seldom foundBut there are those who often feel they're all aloneThose of whose identites are knownBy the mark of the crucified Son(Chorus)Praying, caring, loving, sharingThese are the marks of the crossGiving, bearing, feeling, daringTo lay down your life on the lineForgetting what you leave behindAnd willing to suffer the lossOf the marks of the crossThese days the search for detachment and solitudeLead to retreating to fortresses noone would dare intrudeThen there are those whose restless burdens start to showThose who unmistakably most knowThere's no crown 'til we sugger the crossAll our identity rests in the knowledgeOf who we;re created to beWe are His workmanship, made in His imageFor all of creation to seeThe marks of His pain and His glory
