The Cross Leads Home Lyrics & Chords By Greg X. Volz

Words and music: Jessie Brown Pounds (1861-1921)

I must go home by the way of the cross
There is no other way but this
I shall never get sight of the gates of light
If the way of the cross I miss

Daily I must follow and I must confess
You provided only one way and the way of the cross is it
The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home
It's sweet to know as I onward go
The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home
It's sweet to know as I onward go
The way of the cross leads home... the way of the cross

I must go on in the blood sprinkled way
The path that the Saviour trod
And if I ever climb to the heights sublime
Where the soul is at home with God

I will bid farewell to the way of the world
To walk in it never more
For my Lord says, "Come" and I seek my home
Where He waits at the door

The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home
It's sweet to know as I onward go
The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home

(Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly host)
The way of the cross leads home

(Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost)
The way of the cross leads home
The way of the cross leads home, leads home
