Ricky Skaggs Lyrics
"Remember the Cross"

(Bill Monroe - Howard Watts)

Do you think of the cross on which Jesus died
Of the blood he shed for you
Are you prepared to meet him in that land of love
By his word are you going to abide.

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in his footsteps each day
He shed his blood for you and he shed his blood for me
Never cast that cross aside.

--- Instrumental ---

Never let other people lead you astray
Teach his words to them if you can
They must think of that cross on which Jesus died
And get ready to meet him someday.

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in his footsteps each day
He shed his blood for you and he shed his blood for me
Never cast that cross aside.

--- Instrumental ---

When Jesus comes down from heaven above
And you haven't thought of that cross
He'll cast you aside in the twinkling of an eye
And you won't see his blessed home of love.

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in his footsteps each day
He shed his blood for you and he shed his blood for me
Never cast that cross aside...
