Forward to the Cross Lyrics

VERSE 1:Child in the city what do you hear? The cry of the poor rising on the air.

You in the country and What do they tell? The sword, slain, and the gates of hell

Come to the chapel what do we view? A wounded bride near an empty pew

To the left and right hope runs dry God of Hannah, God of Abraham..

Hallelu, Alleluia, Forward to the cross

Gather all the broken

Hallelu, alleluia, love will guide us home

Church of flesh and bone, trust in God alone

Speak to me wise ones, what do you see? The rising water and the falling tree

O Priest, and prophet, where do you stand? They wander lost in a foreign land

Do you hear your holy people cry? God of David, God of Abraham

Hallelu, Alleluia, Forward to the cross

Gather all the broken

Hallelu, alleluia, love will guide us home

Church of flesh and bone, trust in God alone,

Do Justice, love kindness, show mercy

Do Justice, love kindness, show mercy

Do justice, love kindness, show mercy

Hallelu, Alleluia, Forward to the cross

Gather all the broken

Hallelu, alleluia, love will guide us home

Church of flesh and bone, trust in God alone,
