Story behind the song
The Cross motivated me on this one, of course. It was written well before I even heard of "The Passion" but it is fitting that I have just now recorded it to post.
Lyrics
Cross For Me words & music by elwood CHORUS should’ve been a cross for me should’ve been a cross for you but He died instead what will you do? He knew my name up on that tree when my sins where the nails But He died anyway His love never fails A love I don’t deserve Yes it should have been me I’d fit right in between the thieves CHORUS should’ve been a tomb with my name should’ve been a stone not rolled away I owe everything to His third day will I serve Him as I should or will I turn and run He’s already paid the bill for everything I’ve done CHORUS (sing in half time) Yes He knew my name When my sins were the nails But He died anyway Love never fails CHORUS ©2004 Elwood McElveen, Jr.
