Kneel at the Cross
Hank Locklin · Gloryland Way [1966]
(Jesus will meet you there.)
Kneel at the cross Christ will meet you there
Come while he waits for you
Listen to his voice to live within you
Care and begin life anew.
Kneel at the cross
Leave every care
Kneel at the cross
Jesus will meet you there.
Kneel at the cross there is room for all
Who would his glory share
Bless their way and you'll never fall
Those who are anchored there.
Kneel at the cross
Leave every care
Kneel at the cross
Jesus will meet you there.
--- Instrumental ---
Kneel at the cross give your idles
Up look onto rims above
Turn on the way to God's sparkling cup
Trust only in his love.
Kneel at the cross
Leave every care
Kneel at the cross
Jesus will meet you there...
