When my flesh is weak, and I'm discouraged about life; And I've convinced myself, giving up will be all right. Satan whispers, he'll make me slip forever some day. Oh it's not that easy, there's a cross standing in my way. The cross stands between me and forever. To die in sin is a choice left up to me. Yes there's a cross standing between me and forever. If I go down, I'll have to pass right by that tree. Turn around Sinner hear the words I'm saying to you now. If sin's flames become your home, I don't see how. Cause you'll go there through loved one's prayers they've played in vain Oh not to mention, there's a cross standing in your way. The cross stands between me and forever. To die in sin is a choice left up to me. Yes there's a cross standing between me and forever. If I go down, I'll have to pass Right by that tree. Oh if I go down, I'll have to pass, right by that tree.
