Truth in Song ‎#142

142. Are You Sheltered in the Cross?

1 Are you sheltered in the cross, O my brother?
Has your soul been cleansed from all its pride?
When the frowning world looks down upon you,
Can you glory in the One who died?

Refrain:
Are you sheltered?
Are you sheltered?
Has you soul been purged from all its dross?
Are you sheltered?
Are you sheltered?
In the shadow of the Savior’s cross?

2 When the trying hour of life is upon you,
And against you comes the tempting throng,
Does your heart begin to doubt and falter?
Can you shout and sing the victors’ song? [Refrain]

3 When you walk amidst the waves of affliction,
And the tears of sorrow freely flow,
Can you say “Thy will be done, my Savior,
For thy will is all I care to know”? [Refrain]

4 When you come before the King at the judgment,
Will you be among the pure and the blest?
Can you face the blazing light of heaven,
Can you stand the awful judgment test? [Refrain]
