I'm living in the shadow of the cross,
Where my saviour paid the awful cost,
This is where I want to be when the
angels come for me,
Just living in the shadow of the cross.
Living in the shadow of the cross,
Now my soul is free from sin,
And my saviour dwells within,
Because I'm living in the shadow of
the cross.
Living in the shadow of the cross,
Where Christ shed his blood for me,
He made a way for me as He hung upon
that tree,
That's why I'm living in the shadow
of the cross.
I'm living in the shadow of the cross
While He prepares a place for me,
The gates will swing open wide
and I'll see the other side,
What my saviour has built for me,
While I was living in the shadow of
the cross.
