Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us

We fear it all may one day come undone

We can't forget the One who came before us

To forgive the past and bring hope for what's to come


When it all comes crashing down

The cross still stands alone

And on this our faith is built

And our courage is made strong


When the world falls apart

And you fear for your heart

There's a tower of peace

It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor

And your longing for more

To the place of relief

It's still the cross

There is hope for the lost

It's still the cross


Sometimes it seems that I have been forgotten

I don't know how I will make it on my own

But the One who said I will never be forsaken

He still hears my prayer and I will never be alone


Though the world may not confess

You and Your holiness

One day all will see

You in all Your majesty

And the cross will stand alone

As the place where You made known

Your love for all mankind

Till then in it we'll hide
