When I started my journey in fresh child like trust
I believe that the Lord's way was best
I would read in his word how he mothered the bird
and grieved when it felt from its nest
How I felt his delight when I chose to do right
and I prayed I would not make him sad
We would meet on the way in the cool of the day
What a pure sweet communion we have
Ohh! but now more than ever
I cherish the cross
More than ever I sit at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
and he is so precious to me
The road I have traveled has sometimes been stopped
Through wild jacquard places of life
sometime I've stumble and fallen so hard
That the stones cut my soul like a knife
But the step of my shepherd would reach out for me
And leave me in cool pastures green
With the oil of the spirit anointing my wound
There I rest in the clear healing stream
Ohh but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I sit at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proven my lord true
And he is so precious to me
Is love so sweet story too good to be true
Do you find all this hard to believe
Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart
That the hurt child inside you can't breath
Ohh I can't say I blame you I've been where you are
But all I can say is true
You're wanted you're precious you're the love of his heart
And the old rugged cross was for you
Ohh but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I sit at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proven my Lord true
And he is so precious to me
Ohh but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever I sit at his feet
All the miles of my journey have proven my lord true
And he is so precious to me
Ohh he is so precious to me
Yes he is so precious to me
