Lyrics
CROSS MY HEART
©2007 Kim Ilene McDaniel (BMI) & Larry Seger (ASCAP)
VERSE 1
It's so easy to get distracted
It's so easy to get completely lost
Sometimes I forget who I'm working for
Sometimes I forget the cost
That's when I get the reminder
A gentle nudge from God
I remember to keep on looking up
CHORUS
Cross my heart and hope to fly
Gonna meet my Savior in the sky
This ol' world can't keep me down
On that day when I go to get my crown
Cross my heart and hope to fly
Straight up and on through and out
Gonna make that wedding in the sky
VERSE 2
Today's the day for loving action
Today's the day to get ready for the ride
I've still got time to tell my friends
To let them know about the Bride
That's why I talk about the rapture
The catching away by God
'Cause He's my reason to keep on looking up
CHORUS
Cross my heart and hope to fly
Gonna meet my Savior in the sky
This ol' world can't keep me down
On that day when I go to get my crown
Cross my heart and hope to fly
Straight up and on through and out
Gonna make that wedding in the sky
BRIDGE
Won't have any problems with gravity
When I head for the Jubilee
Gonna rise up and get it
In a Jerusalem minute
Gonna get my crown for eternity
CHORUS
Cross my heart and hope to fly
Gonna meet my Savior in the sky
This ol' world can't keep me down
On that day when I go to get my crown
Cross my heart and hope to fly
Straight up and on through and out
Straight up and on through and out
Gonna make that wedding in the sky
