The Cross Lyrics by Collin Raye

Never Going Back

0

I thought she was havin' trouble, so I stopped to lend a hand
I didn't see that wooden cross behind her Chevy minivan
I said "sorry ma'am" she said "that's alright, most folks drive on past."
She told me the history even though I didn't ask

"It's been 14 years today since I took his name
And a year ago December when we got that freezin' rain
I'm not one to blame God, but at first I took it bad
Now I've learned to count the blessings, every moment that we had

"I don't come to mourn his dying, but to celebrate his life
Ya know, death can never stop a love between a husband and a wife
There's something 'bout me coming here when I'm feeling lost
When I need to find my peace of mind, I just come to the cross."

I got back in my pickup truck and I drove away in tears
Thanked God for a family and every moment we've had here
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds or what's waiting round the bend?
And every time I pass a wooden cross, I hear those words again

"I don't come to mourn his dying, but to celebrate his life
Ya know, death can never stop a love between a husband and a wife
There's something 'bout me coming here when I'm feeling lost
When I need to find my peace of mind, I just come to the cross

I just come to the cross."
