The cross that He gave
may be heavy,
But it ne’er outweighs His grace;
The storm that I feared
may surround me,
But it ne’er excludes His face.
The cross is not greater
than His grace,
The storm cannot hide
His blessèd face;
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
The thorns in my path
are not sharper
Than composed His crown for me;
The cup that I drink not more bitter
Than He drank in Gethsemane.
The cross is not greater
than His grace,
The storm cannot hide
His blessèd face;
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
The light of His love shineth brighter,
As it falls on paths of woe;
The toil of my work groweth lighter,
As I stoop to raise the low.
The cross is not greater
than His grace,
The storm cannot hide
His blessèd face;
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
His will have I joy in fulfilling,
As I’m walking in His sight;
My all to the blood I am bringing,
It alone can keep me right.
The cross is not greater
than His grace,
The storm cannot hide
His blessèd face;
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
