Текст песни Элла и Сергей Кобзевы - 2532 Вблизи креста Христова

Near the cross of Christ I want to always abide :
There's a shadow of high cliffs , there is respite from the struggle ;
There wanderer safe home , protection from adversity :
There's the suffering and the rest from earthly cares.

There on the cross of Christ I saw the light of day
Sufferer , faithful to the Father , that he died for me.
Soul clung to the cross , I deeply aware
Love the Lord my fullness and emptiness .

Near the cross of Christ dwell through.
I do not need any other rays , only the light of His countenance .
The world is not leaving grieving , I do here uneasy ,
I am ashamed only of himself , praising him cross.
