Beneath the Shade of the Cross

IF you want pardon, if you want peace,
If you want sorrow and sighing to cease,
Look up to Jesus who died on the tree
To purchase a full salvation.

Refrain:
Living beneath the shade of the cross,
Counting the jewels of earth but dross,
Cleansed in the blood that flows from his side,
Enjoying a full salvation.

2 If you want Je sus to reign in your soul,
Plunge in the fountain and you shall be whole,
Washed in the blood of the crucified one;
Enjoying a full salvation.

3 If you want boldness, take part in the fight;
If you want purity, walk in the light;
If you want liberty, shout and be free;
Enjoying a full salvation.

4 If you want holiness, cling to the cross,
Counting the riches of earth as dross;
Down at his feet you’ll be cleansed and made free;
Enjoying a full salvation.
