Drag that cross across the stage - A modern Easter/Good Friday programme tribute
Come on and drag that cross across the stage May everybody watching be amazed At the immense suffering and the pain Of the Saviour on the day that He was slain Come on and drag that cross across the stage Put on the spotlight his act of mercy and grace Let's celebrate his suffering for it made us free Oh yes, let's rejoice in that sweet liberty Come on and drag that cross across the stage He did it all just for you and me There is no shame in it, you see He didn't have any, so mustn't we Come on and drag that cross across the stage Let the world know how he quietened the rage Of sin and shame that bore my name and put Himself, in my place, to blame Come on and drag that cross across the stage Open those wounds and let them bleed Slash that whip harder till you succeed In letting the world respond to Christ's magnificent deed Come on and drag that cross across the stage Yes, you are sure that even He rejoices When you make such a happy noise About the pain He endured...
