Representative Text

1 Room at the cross for a trembling soul,
Room at the cross for you;
Where the sin-laden may be made whole,
Room at the cross for you.

Refrain:
Room, room, room at the cross,
Room at the cross for you;
Room, room, room at the cross,
Room at the cross for you.

2 Room at the cross for a breaking heart,
Room at the cross for you;
Choose then, like Mary, the better part,
Room at the cross for you. [Refrain]

3 Room at the cross for earth’s weary and worn,
Room at the cross for you;
Come then, oh, come then, ye souls who mourn,
Room at the cross for you. [Refrain]
