Place Your Cross

PLACE YOUR CROSS UPON ME
IT'S NOT TO MUCH TO BEAR,
GIVE TO ME ABUNDANT LOVE
WITH OTHERS I WILL SHARE.

I HAVE READ YOUR GOSPEL
THE FINISHED WORK IS TRUE,
NOW ALL MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE
IF THEY BELIEVE IN YOU.

SO TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD ME
SHOW ME WHAT TO DO ,
FOR I KNOW THAT I AM NOTHING
IF I DON'T HAVE YOU.

OPEN WIDE THESE EYES OF MINE
THAT I MAY SEE YOUR FACE,
PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME LORD
SURROUND ME IN YOUR GRACE.

RICHARD A PALMER
