He Stayed on the Cross

by Pearl Leona Sturgis

This whole world was made by
my Lord's holy hand.
But He was betrayed by
the devil and man.

He came to redeem all
the souls that He loved.
He stayed on the Cross till
He shed His life's Blood.

The people stood mocking,
"If thou art the King...
come down from the cross then
and rule over things!"

He paid no attention
to mens' ridicule.
He stayed to the finish
For me and for you.

Dear Lord, please remind me
when trials come 'round
You stayed on the Cross
and You didn't get down.

You'll never forsake me.
You'll always be there,
No matter how heavy...
this cross I must bear.

He stayed on the Cross
but not in the grave.
He rose from the dead
on that first Easter Day

and whoso believeth...
your soul He will save.
Just ask His forgiveness.
Your sin debt is paid.
