Once a [F]mother stood on a [C]corner
Tears bet[G]rayed her painted [C]smile
She was [F]trading in her [C]halo
For just enoug[G]h to feed her [C]child
Then an [F]old man, cold and [C]hungry
Saw her [G]crying and he [C]stopped
And He [F]gave her his one poss[C]ession
A shining [G]silver pocket w[C]atch
[C]There's no [G]cross that [F]love won't [G]bear
And [C]when you're [G]down to [F]your last [G]prayer
[C]It will [G]be the [F]saving [G]grace
In the [C]depths of [G]your d[F]espair[G]
C G (Intro Riff)
There's no cross that love won't bear
So the old man found a dumpster,
Crawled inside and went to sleep
As he drifted into slumber
He prayed the Lord, his soul to keep
Then the mother with her halo
Came to him in a dream
And he woke up in a mansion
His silver watch there on it's chain
There's no cross that love won't bear
And when you're down to your last prayer
It will be the saving grace
In the depths of your despair
There's no cross that love won't bear
No, there's no cross that love won't bear
end on G
