There's No Cross That Love Won't Bear lyrics

Once a mother stood on a corner Tears betrayed her painted smile She was trading in her halo For just enough to feed her child Then an old man, cold and hungry Saw her crying and he stopped He gave her his one possession A shining silver pocket watch There's no cross that love won't bear And when you're down to your last prayer It will be the saving grace In the depths of your dispair There's no cross that love won't bear So the old man found a park bench Crawled inside and went to sleep He lay down and went to sleep As he drifted into slumber He prayed the Lord his soul to keep Then the mother with her halo Came to him in a dream And he woke up in a mansion His silver watch there on it's chain There's no cross that love won't bear And when you're down to your last prayer It will be the saving grace In the depths of your dispair There's no cross that love won't bear No there's no cross that love won't bear
