Cross in my Pocket

Lord, I wanna be where you are,

Holding me close, holding me near.

When I'm standing at the shore,

With you, nothing shall I fear.

And through the raging seas, Lord,

You're in these storms with me.

You are the rock of my salvation,

A lighthouse if I should lose my way.

I'll carry your cross in my pocket,

A reminder of your love for me.

The symbol of my faith in Christ,

Hallelujah - Jesus living in me.

When man stands against me,

At my side, you'll always be.

The battle belongs to you,

God alone, you are my defender.

I'll carry your cross in my pocket,

A reminder of your love for me.

The symbol of my faith in Christ,

Hallelujah - Jesus living in me.

You have called me and know me,

Knowing my thoughts from afar.

Every breath and step I take,

Lord - I'm nothing without you.

I'll carry your cross in my pocket,

A reminder of your love for me.

The symbol of my faith in Christ,

Hallelujah - Jesus living in me.

From the mountains to the valleys,

Lord, you're close, even when I stray

Your wonderful counsellor,

There's simply none like you.

I'll carry your cross in my pocket,

A reminder of your love for me.

The symbol of my faith in Christ,

Hallelujah - Jesus living in me.

I thank you, Father, for your grace,

That you took my place at Calvary.

Jesus, you've claimed the victory

For this reason, I chose to believe.

I'll carry your cross in my pocket,

a reminder of your love for me.

A symbol of my faith in Christ,

Hallelujah, Jesus living in me.

Yes, I'll carry your cross in my pocket;

As a reminder of your love for me.
