Lyrics
CRADLE TO THE CROSS
Like a seed of change the star it pointed to a barnyard stall
A tender scene of birth that held the kings and shepherd boys in thrall
Bridge:
And if there is a tree of life I wonder if the wood
Was used to build the manger where the angels cried and wise men stood
Chorus: From the cradle to the cross
Swaddling clothes to thorny crown
It's a long way to salvation
And without You we'd fall down
From God's hands to Mary's arms
It's so far we cannot see
Yet in an tiny infant's grasp You hold
All heaven's generosity
Your body wrapped around a cross
Like a dying, hanging vine
And You, the fruit of all we live for
Nourish us through all of time
Bridge:
And if there is a tree of life I wonder if its boughs
Are strong enough to hold the weight of sin You carry now
From the cradle to the cross
Swaddling clothes to thorny crown
It's a long way to salvation
And without You we would drown
From death to life beyond
It's so far we cannot see
Yet in Your outstretched arms
You hold?. eternity
Bridge:
If there is a tree of hope, I wonder, just wonder if its shade
Can shelter all Your faithful
'Till the day You come again...
