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 blessed 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 blessed 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 blessed face
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
His will I have 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 blessed face
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
