Lyrics
Cool In The Shadow Of The Cross
We’ve all been in some tricky situations
We’ve cried in the night when no ones there,
We seek a little comfort and salvation,
When we’ve taken on a burden we can’t bear.
It might be that we feel we’ve been abandoned,
Living in a world that doesn’t care,
Life’s uncertainties can feel so random,
It kicks you when you’re down and that’s not fair.
It’s hard when the world has turned against you,
It’s cold when you’re reeling from a loss, {Chorus
It burns when the fires of hate surround you,
But it’s cool in the shadow of the cross,
Yes, it’s cool in the shadow of the cross.
The truth is no one lives in isolation,
Jesus stands beside you all the way,
You can rest assured there’s compensation,
Paid in full upon the Judgment Day.
Now you know the facts it shouldn’t matter,
That doubt should call upon you now and then
And if you feel your faith is gonna shatter,
Just give a little smile and think of Him
It’s hard when the world has turned against you,
It’s cold when you’re reeling from a loss, {Chorus
It burns when the fires of hate surround you,
But it’s cool in the shadow of the cross,
Yes, it’s cool in the shadow of the cross.
It’s cool, so cool {Bridge
It’s so cool in the shadow of the cross
Think about forever and all that might be lost
It’s cool in the shadow of the cross
It’s hard when the world has turned against you,
It’s cold when you’re reeling from a loss,
It burns when the fires of hate surround you,
But it’s cool in the shadow of the cross,
Yes, it’s cool in the shadow of the cross.
