When my flesh is weak
And I'm discouraged about life
And I've convinced myself
givin' up would be all right
Satan whispers
He'll make me slip
forever some day
Oh but it's not that easy
For there's a cross
standin' in my way
The cross stands between me
and forever
To die in sin
is a choice left up to me
Yes there's a cross standin'
between me and forever
If I go down I'll have to pass
right by that tree
Sinner hear the words
I'm sayin' to you now
If sin's flames
become your home
I don't see how
'Cause you'll go there
through loved ones prayers
They've prayed each day
Oh not to mention
that there's a cross
standin' in your way
The cross stands between me
and forever
To die in sin
is a choice left up to me
Yes there's a cross standin'
between me and forever
If I go down I'll have to pass
right by that tree
Oh if I go down
I'll have to pass
right by that tree
