You Were On The Cross - Matt Maher

The first time I heard this song, it made me cry. Fr. Greg had said something to me on the phone once that is a lot like this song. He said, "Catherine, Jesus saw you cutting while He was on the cross, but He died for you anyway." I stopped dead in my tracks and started crying. This song by Matt Maher is a reminder of Fr. Greg's statement that night. It's a constant reminder that there isn't anything I could do that would make God love me less.



Lost.
Everything is lost
And everything I’ve loved before is gone
Alone, like the coming of the frost
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart

Where were You when all that I’ve hoped for
Where were You when all that I’ve dreamed
Came crashing down in shambles around me
You were on the cross

Pain.
Could You take away the pain
If I find someone to blame
Would it make my life seem easier
Alone, all my friends are asleep
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me

And where were You when sin stole my innocence
Where were You when I was ashamed
Hiding in a life I wish I’d never made

You were on the cross
My God, my God
All along, all along
You were on the cross
You died for us
All along, all along
You were on the cross
Victorious
All along, all along

You were there in all my suffering
You were there in doubt and fear
I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear
