There were tears in the eyes of Jesus there were nails in the palms of his hands

There were thorns in his brow and only God could know how

Much pain he could withstand

There was blood all around the hillside as a mother mourned her loss

And we all stood to gain from the heavenly pain on the other side of the cross

On the other side of the cross the side that no one could see

On the spirit of things yet to come on the future of you and me

And what he gave that day on the cross not one bit of love has been lost

Hold my hand stand up and say if you were there on that day

On the other side of the cross...
