THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS
The Statler Brothers


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
But we all stood to gain
From the Heavenly pain
On other side of the Cross

On the other side of the Cross
The side that no one could see
Hung 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

On the other side of the cross
The side that no one can see
Hung 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

Hold my hand stand up and say
If you were there on that day 
On the other side of the cross
